“A fully double glass-based PV production will require amounts of float-glass exceeding today's overall annual glass production of 84 Mt as early as 2034 for Scenario 2 and in 2074 for Scenario 1,” they said. “In 2100, glass consumption would reach 122 Mt to 215 Mt.”
Photovoltaic glass is one of the best materials to protect crystalline silicon and has high self-transmission rate for a long time. Therefore, the optical properties of photovoltaic glass are an important factor outside the crystalline silicon technology.
1. First photovoltaic system shall be a (ground mount, roof mount) sized at xx kWAC (approximate xx kWDC) grid-tied for main facility usage. One ground mount grid-tied photovoltaic system providing approximate xx kWAC (approximate xx kWh/year for an average year using typical weather data.
The encapsulated glass used in solar photovoltaic modules (or custom solar panels), the current mainstream products are low-iron tempered embossed glass, the solar cell module has high requirements for the transmittance of tempered glass, which must be greater than 91.6%, and has a higher reflection for infrared light greater than 1200 nm. rate.
Depending on the two scenarios, the German group predicts that demand for solar glass could be met by an annual output of between 1,000 km2 and 1,300 km2 in 2020 and between 12,000 km2 and 22,000 km2 by 2100. The scientists assumed solar module efficiency at a learning rate of 6.7%, starting from a module efficiency of 20% in 2020.
Emerging technologies such as perovskite solar cells and other cell technologies with efficiencies above 25%, if made commercially mature by the industry, might help to considerably reduce the amount of solar glass needed for the current century.
