The spring of solar glass is coming soon
The future of power glass
From the data level, the sales volume of the subdivided products from the solar energy industry to the power generation glass curtain wall is showing an upward trend every year, and this year is no exception. According to the power generation volume announced by the National Energy Administration in October, the amount of new energy generated by solar energy has increased in the entire power generation market. Data show that solar power generation increased by 18.8% year-on-year, 15.9 percentage points faster than last month. From January to October, new energy power generation accounted for 10.2% of total power generation, an increase of 0.8 percentage points over the same period last year. Solar glass, an important product in the solar industry, has also developed rapidly. According to Boss data analysis, in terms of market sales, China's solar glass sales in the first half of 2018 reached 382.01 million weight boxes. Solar glass branch product cover glass is also developing at a faster pace. Technavio market analysts predict that the global solar cover glass market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 31% in recent years. From these data, the solar power glass curtain wall will develop strongly in the future and the trend will be the trend.
Solar glass applications have broad prospects
Solar energy still has great potential in the world. The countries all over the world have adopted the policy to support the development of the solar energy market and compete for the world share of the solar energy market. At present, China's solar energy accounts for 50% to 60% of the world's solar energy market, and its export volume ranks first in the world. Of course, solar glass exports are far more than many developed countries. From January to November 2017, the export volume of solar glass in China was 1,665,600 tons, an increase of 7.56% year-on-year. It should be pointed out that if solar glass exported in the form of solar modules is also included, it will far exceed this value.
The strong demand for solar glass at home and abroad is also reflected in the wide application of solar glass in many fields. According to Technavio's new market research report, solar glass can be used in public utilities, commercial and residential areas, including schools, hospitals, airports, stations, convention centers, office buildings, and so on. Among them, public utilities accounted for nearly 47% of the market share of solar glass in 2017, and will continue to increase. The fast-growing application area is the commercial sector, which is expected to account for nearly 28% of the total market share by 2022.
Hanergy Han Wall: colorful solar glass curtain wall
On the occasion of the demand for solar glass market, Hanergy released a new generation of Han wall products on September 30 this year, and entered the blue ocean of solar glass market. Different from the solar glass curtain wall products on the market, the Han wall adopts the world's leading glass-based copper indium gallium selenide chip, and the conversion rate reaches 18.72%. In terms of quality, it can withstand 12 typhoons and work as usual at minus 40 degrees and above 85 degrees. The appearance also provides a variety of colors such as blue water blue, gold core yellow, rose purple and so on. You can also choose diamonds, heavy rain flowers and other styles to adapt to different styles of architecture.
Now, Hanergy's new generation of Han wall has been put into the market, and the recently completed solar curtain wall project of the A4 office building of Heyuan Overseas Chinese Town in Guangdong is a new generation of Han wall. Hanwall has a total installed area of 160,000 square meters and installed about 2,600 Hanwalls. The annual power generation capacity is 210,000 kWh, which is equivalent to 10,000 trees around the building, effectively reducing the carbon dioxide emissions of the building.
Many professionals believe that solar glass, represented by power generation curtain walls, is the next vent of the solar industry. Who can stand out in this wind? Look forward to it together!
