Will the photovoltaic industry affect the price of glass

Compared with ordinary glass, photovoltaic glass has higher quality requirements and limited new capacity, which is tight in the short term, and the rapid growth in demand has caused the price of photovoltaic glass to rise again. Last week, the cost of photovoltaic glass didn''t change, and the current industry gross margin is at about 27%. Due to the supply and demand situation improvement, it is expected that in August the overall price of PV glass will rise.

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.

Will rising solar glass prices lift profits?

While the news will be welcomed by investors, Xinyi Solar pointed out the rise in average selling prices for solar glass witnessed – compared to the first six months of last year – would lift profits despite the fact prices have fallen “substantially” in the current three-month window. The latest edition of pv magazine is out!

How will photovoltaic products contribute to a thumping rise in profit?

Whilst rising income from float glass sales was also mentioned, photovoltaic products will contribute significantly to a thumping rise in profit to HK$4.98-5.39 billion (US$642-694 million).

How does glass demand affect inventory?

The increase in demand drives the increase in glass demand, and inventory gradually declines, expected to drop from about 4 weeks at the end of February to around 20 days by the end of March. Material Prices Decline, Inventory Reduction Expected to Increase Price .

Why are solar module prices rising?

The volatility of glass prices has seen module prices start to rise. The raw materials price volatility which has afflicted the solar industry this year has been reflected in a string of positive “profit warnings” from Chinese group Xinyi.

How much money will flat glass make from a solar glass factory?

Flat Glass said the proposed fundraising exercise, which will be voted on by shareholders at its AGM, would generate RMB1.95 billion towards the RMB2.39 billion cost of a solar glass factory to make 750,000 tons per year of ultra thin, ultra high transparent products.
