The global Glass for Solar Cells market size is predicted to grow from US$ 5127 million in 2025 to US$ 10310 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2025 to 2031.
Glass for solar cells is generally used as an encapsulation sheet for solar modules to protect solar cells. After the solar cell is installed in the solar panel, the conversion efficiency will be reduced because the encapsulating glass absorbs and reflects sunlight. Therefore, in order to minimize the reflection and absorption of sunlight so that more sunlight can pass through the protective glass and hit the solar cell, the quality of the encapsulation glass is very important. Because of this unique feature, as the global use of solar energy continues to rise and the installation of solar modules and panels increases, there is an even greater demand for specialized, high-quality and high-transparency solar glass products.
