10 million square meters of photovoltaic glass

How many tons of photovoltaic rolled glass a year?

The annual output is about 430,000 tons of photovoltaic rolled glass original sheets, and it has a photovoltaic glass deep-processing capacity of 72 million square meters per year. The products cover deep-processing products with various thicknesses of 2-4mm.

What if the PV industry doesn't have new glass production plants?

Thousands of new glass manufacturing plants needed for the growing PV industry. As module prices decline, glass makes an even higher fraction of the PV module cost. Without new glass production PV industry could experience shortage within 20 years. Shortage of glass production could drive up the cost especially of thin-film modules.

What is Photovoltaic Glass business?

The photovoltaic glass business is mainly engaged in the production and sales of photovoltaic glass. The wholly-owned subsidiary operates a 900t/d photovoltaic glass production line, with a designed annual output of about 39 million square meters of photovoltaic glass deep-processed products.

How to improve the quality of solar glass?

Entire glass industry chain production and original factory processing ensure high quality control of the glass from the upstream: 3 float lines, 10 million square meters solar glass production capacity. Advanced processing equipment ensure best quality & performance of the glass.

What is the Daily melting capacity of solar glass?

In addition, two production lines with a daily melting capacity of 900 tons that have been cold repaired since November 2021 resumed production in April and June 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the daily melting capacity of solar glass reached 16,800 tons .

How much glass do you need for a solar module?

Thus, for each square meter of a solar module, 2 of glass is required. Other thin film modules are a mix, some using two plates of glass for each module, some only a single plate, or some other type of substrate. Thin-film PV production is expected to continue to grow faster than the industry as a whole due to lower production costs.
