Ultra-White Embossed Glass Market Prospects

With the rapid development of science and technology, the use of glass products has become increasingly wide range, from glass as the basic

Original created by new products are constantly emerge. We experienced the era of large-scale glass curtain wall, due to human environmental protection, energy conservation, life safety, and so increasing attention, such as insulating glass, LOW-E insulating glass, tempered glass, etc. are gradually replacing the traditional glass of the original films, to go into people's lives. The face of the domestic glass market has become increasingly fierce competition in the future, and constantly develop the introduction of high-end products and seek product differentiation will become a glass primary means of gaining access to advantage. Now, a new energy-saving products is on the rise, it is solar photovoltaic cells. The manufacture of solar photovoltaic cells, one of the key components is the solar photovoltaic cells encapsulated glass. This new product has begun to attract increasing number of glass companies in importance as many companies racing to develop a new program of high-tech glass products.

At present, the production of solar cell glass packaging technology mainly rolling method, which is embossed with special

Roller, in the ultra-white glass surface to suppress a special pyramid-shaped pattern made of. It is the solar photovoltaic cells indispensable component parts. According to relevant forecast growth potential within the next five years, a large glass LOW-E glass products and solar cells with ultra-white embossed glass, namely the solar cell glass packaging. San Han Nanjing in China's Pattern Glass Company glass production line can provide this product. Han, Nanjing Saint Saint-Gobain Glass Co., Ltd. is a collaborative South Korea Glass Group acquired in 2001, Nanjing South woo Glass Co., Ltd. was established on the basis of the.

By Saint-Gobain's leading glass manufacturing process, will replace the existing 420-ton high-quality float glass line of float line, while building a 260-ton high-quality embossed glass production line, mainly producing solar panels for ultra-white embossed glass. Given the current shortage of ultra-white embossed glass market realities, Nanjing St. han glass company intends to seize this favorable opportunity to quickly seize the market, has decided to build a new ultra-white embossed glass production lines. In addition, Qingdao Jin Jing Co., Ltd. to cooperate with the PPG, development and production of a 3.2mm steel of low iron float glass, ultra-white high permeability, is currently the only low-iron steel production of ultra-white glass manufacturers. The company is also using the world's largest production base of the advantages of embossed glass and are actively developing 3.2mm low iron ultra-white pattern (suede) glass, as a solar cell glass packaging components, to adapt to future market of need.

From abroad and the production of such glass enterprises are concerned, one of Japan Asahi Glass Company, because of its own production of ultra-white glass

Glass of technological capabilities, its expertise in North America with a production of solar cell glass packaging production plant, the main North American market. Another is the UK's Pilkington, in Australia with an ultra-white embossed glass production line, the scale of approximately 150-200 tons / day. Of its holding company in China Shanghai Yaohua Pilkington has also been seen as a national energy strategy, part of the increasingly widespread use of solar energy received attention, with related industries developed rapidly, as the photovoltaic cells and solar water heaters supporting ultra-white embossed glass substrate demand is also growing. Therefore, the company has also spared no effort in the implementation of this work. Intended use of photovoltaic cells and solar water heater business opportunities supporting special glass to create the company's new profit growth point. And then there are the French Saint-Gobain, and in addition to its production line in Nanjing, and is building a second production lines, in Germany there is a super-white embossed glass production lines. From these company's production situation, the yield is generally not high, probably in between 50-70%.

Well, this ultra-white embossed glass market prospects in the end what? It should be said that its market is dominated by solar photovoltaic cells determined by the market. Solar photovoltaic cells used to package the glass, the current mainstream products in the low steel of pattern glass (some say the glass is called steel pile), a thickness of 3.2mm, the solar cell spectral response in the wavelength range (320 ~ 1100nm ), light transmission rate of up to 91% or more, for more than 1200nm infrared light have a higher reflectivity. Solar energy as a clean, renewable energy, much attention around the world. According to official statistics, as of the end of 2004, the global solar cell module production to reach 1,300 megawatts, of which the production of solar modules in China more than 160 megawatts, is obviously still at a relatively low level of development and production. With regard to solar photovoltaic cells encapsulated glass in the sun on the dosage, Let us be present for each 165-watt consumption of 1.3 square meters of glass terms, however, in 2004 the global solar photovoltaic cells encapsulated glass consumption of 10.4 million square meters, of which China's more than 1.28 million square meters. In accordance with the current global PV modules to calculate the average annual growth rate of 30% this year, the world's new solar year of about 3.5 million square meters of glass packaging. 2007 China solar cell module production capacity will exceed 420 MW, solar cell packaging each year consume about 340 million square meters of glass.

Thus, due to widespread use of solar cells, and because the state worked hard to pursue energy-saving products, which Market demand growth is very fast, but this brought about the demand for ultra-white embossed glass, also showed rapid growth trend, and this increase in demand would be a longer period of time continuity growth.

When the electric power, coal, oil and other non-renewable energy sources frequently in an emergency, energy constraints of the international community has increasingly become

When the bottleneck of economic development, more and more countries have begun to implement "Project Sunshine", developing solar energy resources, seek A new driving force for economic development. Some of Europe's high level of nuclear research institutions have begun to shift to renewable energy sources.

As at 20 By the end of 2002, solar PV manufacturing capacity has reached 560,000 KW, the actual installed capacity of nearly 4 million KW

, Component costs fell to 3.5 U.S. dollars / WP. Expects the price of PV modules in 2020 will drop to a U.S. dollars / WP below. Currently the world's largest photovoltaic facility will produce 36MW, the price of 3-4 U.S. dollars / WP. China's solar energy resources are very rich in theoretical reserves of 1.7 trillion tons of standard coal annually. Solar energy resources to open up

Made use of the potential for very broad. China is located in the northern hemisphere, north-south and east-west distance of 5,000 km distance in order to On. In our vast land, rich in solar energy resources. In most regions the average annual amount of radiation per day

Square meters more than 4 kwh of Tibet on the amount of radiation of up to 7 kwh per square meter. More than 200 hours of annual sunshine

0 hours. With the same latitude compared to other countries, and close to the United States than in Europe, Japan, is much superior. Therefore, I Photovoltaic industrial development prospects of the country is very broad. In recent years, the application of solar photovoltaic cells gradually in China's western region Expansion. In the domestic production of solar cells, according to rough statistics, there's much of a certain well-known techniques Strength of the production of solar cells are mainly more than a dozen companies. With the bright western development and implementation of the project, I A number of emerging countries are emerging photovoltaic business. But overall view, the scale is not big enough, showing a scattered, disorderly, Piecemeal situation, can not meet the Chinese demand for the development of photovoltaic cells.

International professional bodies believe that, by 2010 the cost of solar photovoltaic cells will be greatly reduced, so that with regular

Regulatory energy competition. By 2050, solar energy in the energy mix is about 13% ~ 15%. This Shows the speed of its development. At the same time, these forecasts fully reflect the solar energy in the human more and more important Strategic position. The great potential in the international PV market, under the impetus of the photovoltaic manufacturing industry competing countries invested heavily in expanding

Large-scale production in order to fight a seat. With the international compared to the booming photovoltaic power generation, China lags behind developed countries in a 0-15 years, or even significantly behind India. China's PV industry at an annual rate of 30% growth in domestic

Photovoltaic cell production capacity has reached 100MW. At the national project to support the various ministries and commissions under the current PV Laboratories in China

The efficiency of the battery has reached 21% of PV modules can be commercially effective rate of 14-15%, the general commercialization of the battery-efficient

The rate of 10-13%. At present, China solar photovoltaic cell production costs have been substantially reduced the price of solar cells

Gradually from 2000 to 40 yuan / 33 watts to 2003 yuan / W, 2004 has been reduced To 27 yuan / watt. This is the domestic solar market grow and mature into play a decisive role, for achieving the international

PV market integration of great significance.

With the photovoltaic technology and architecture is increasingly integrated photovoltaic curtain wall great potential for development, in addition to achieve glass

Glass curtain wall outside the same aesthetic effect, but also the use of solar photovoltaic technology to generate new energy, and is now

The new darling of the international construction industry. Xinzhuang Industrial Zone in Shanghai, there is a zero-energy solar energy utilization model building, this building

Three-story buildings near 1 / 5 of the walls and roof, covering more than 300 solar panels, small building's glass curtain wall

Also made the "sandwiched" - double-glazed pieces in the mosaic of a solar panel, the balcony was also set up special

Meter in a circle connected by a double-sided solar panels into a fence. It is reported that the cost of solar architecture and this building is not expensive

, To 50 yuan / watt solar panels prices, the entire building for solar power generation amounts to around 200

Million, representing an overall cost of the 1 / 4, and 1 yuan / square meters of high-grade glass walls, solar glass curtain

The cost of the wall was only 4,000 yuan / square meter. In the recently held Shanghai International Exhibition on Solar Energy, Shenzhen 1

The company has also produced a solar photovoltaic curtain wall of the sample room, a block of solar panels mounted double-deck glass

Glass is made into blinds, very beautiful, aroused widespread attention at the exhibition. This shows that the traditional glass curtain wall

The existence of many security problems, light pollution and so on use of solar photovoltaic panels can be a good solution.

In the long run, this technology can be the promotion of a great and the prospects are extremely good. It will break through solar photovoltaic

Existing pool area, so that solar photovoltaic cells applied to the more extensive construction areas as well.

The average conversion efficiency of solar cells in China is not high, mainly due to the low level of specific materials, localization, such as closing

Glazing completely dependent on imports, low iron content of the high-transmittance glass substrate market is still unable to meet the demand, research into the

Fruit has not quickly and fully into industrial advantages. Thus, the domestic market for solar photovoltaic cells encapsulated glass

Demand for domestic glass companies still need to intensify its efforts to break the monopoly of foreign enterprises. The present, though, Qingdao Jin Jing Branch

Technology has produced a surplus and white glass, but in how they could be converted to solar photovoltaic cell glass packaging products, but also

For further efforts. Obviously, such a dedicated solar photovoltaic cells super-white embossed glass, profit and P

Pass than the glass is still quite considerable. From last year's market price situation, the import price of the finished glass is about

15 USD / square meter, or about RMB120 / m; of the original film in import prices of 8-9 U.S. dollars /

Square meters, and some may also be higher, about RMB 64-72 yuan / square meter. This is currently the other

Ordinary glass prices are second to none.

At present, China is promoting the establishment of energy-saving society and solar energy as a renewable resource, being the more

To the more widespread use. Related to this solar PV market prospects are very good, its domestic market,

Will promote more rapid pace. Therefore, the main components of solar photovoltaic cells - the needs of ultra-white embossed glass

Volume will grow rapidly. Considering the current type of glass, mainly rely on imports to solve domestic glass companies have great

Opportunities for development. As the original ultra-thin glass, as in no domestic production prior to rely mainly on imports, such as a.

1mm glass import prices can be sold for 32 RMB / square meters, while in the domestic development and production out of the kinds of products

After prices fell to 25 yuan / square meters. In any case, this product is indeed a kind of to be expected

Have a more lucrative profits products. And now ordinary glass products in the market the profit is simply incomparable. We

Reason to believe that after the ultra-white embossed glass in a short time, it must become more concerned about the glass business and be full -

Force development of new varieties of glass products.
