Prediction: the global film PV market of 2015 will reach $ 7.2 billion

[China Glass Network] According to US Nano Markets Co., the global film PV market of 2015 will reach $ 7.2 billion, and so far it’s only $ 1 billion.

As the report said, TFPV owns particular advantage, such as low cost, light weight, the flexibility that enables itself to be processed onto soft base material and so on. Compared with common PV adopted crystal silicon, TFPV is more used to dim light.

It is also pointed out that the reason of growing demand for TFPV is the rapid expanding production capability of most manufacturers, such as First Solar company, Fuji electric company, Nano solar company, Sanyo company, Uni-Solar company and G24i company, who are waiting for the construction of plants with production capacity more than 100 MW .

At the same time, regular production cost of PV is expensive while that of TFPV can reduce the cost by using simple printer or R2R machines. The production value of printing TFPV is predicted to reach $ 3 billion in 2015. Meanwhile, TFPV is lighter than common PV, possessing soft surface applying to bending which enables itself to be set on the roof and wall. In addition, the utilization of TFPV can decrease the special enhanced measured taken to protect the roof.
