Port of Marseille to host solar plant
French company Carbon has announced plans to build a a 5 GW PV cell and module factory at the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille (GPMM).
These shifts together position the solar photovoltaic glass market for resilient growth throughout the decade. By glass type, anti-reflective coatings led with a 57% solar photovoltaic glass market share in 2024, while TCO glass is projected to expand at 22.46% CAGR through 2030.
Manufacturers now compete on scale, logistics efficiency, and coating innovation to defend profitability in the solar photovoltaic glass market. Cumulative solar capacity reached 1.6 TWdc in 2023, up 89% on 2022, while building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) gained momentum.
January 2025: NSG Group has commenced operations of a new solar glass production line in the United States, strengthening its position in the solar photovoltaic glass market. This development is expected to enhance the supply of high-quality solar glass, supporting the growing demand in the renewable energy sector.
In 2024, anti-reflective coatings commanded 57% of the solar photovoltaic glass market, supported by entrenched float infrastructure and proven light-capture gains. The segment's dominance is reinforced by standardized recipes and high yields, especially for commodity mono-perc modules.
