Adoption of Advanced Solar Technology Solutions in the Country

With a growing emphasis on sustainability, the country is adopting advanced solar technologies which are used to reduce carbon footprints and reliance on fossil fuels. The ongoing innovations in solar PV glass technology are enhancing its adoption in various applications. Solar PV glass plays a crucial role in the development of solar technology which helps in the efficient transition to clean energy.

Rapidly increasing energy needs necessitate the deployment of advanced solar technologies such as bifacial solar panels, building integrated photovoltaics (BIVP), and others. The advanced solar technologies are efficient in harnessing sunlight which increases the demand for high-quality solar photovoltaic glass in the market.  Solar PV glass is versatile and appealing for various applications which contributes to increasing its market demand.

BIPV technology solutions allow for the seamless integration of solar technology into building materials. The integration transforms traditional building elements into energy-generating surfaces which makes solar photovoltaic glass an essential component in modern architecture. Builders and architects are adopting the BIVP technology in construction which drives the demand for specialized solar glass designed for the application.

In January 2025, Borosil Renewables Limited announced to expand its production capacity 1,000 tons to 1,500 tons per day. This expansion is a response to the government's establishment of a "Reference Price" for imports, which tackles the issue of dumping cheap solar glasses in the country. The initiative seeks to strengthen domestic production, secure a stable supply chain for local PV module manufacturers, and reduce foreign exchange outflows.

Favorable Government Policies and Initiatives Driving Market Opportunity

The government and higher authorities came up with innovative policies for the upliftment of the solar energy market in the country. The schemes include facilitating access to loans, lowering initial costs, providing economic incentives, and promoting market awareness, which drives the demand for solar system installation and further creates opportunities for the solar photovoltaic glass market.

Moreover, the Indian government has commenced and implemented various policies such as "Make in India" and "Atmanirbhar Bharat" to uplift the production of solar components which drives investment in the solar photovoltaic glass market. Major players like Vishakha Renewables and Borosil Renewables Limited are investing in expanding the production capabilities of solar photovoltaic glass as the domestic supply is expected to grow significantly. Moreover, in 2021, Vishakha Renewable collaborated with Asahi India Glass Limited for the establishment of a large-scale manufacturing facility that enhanced local production.

Furthermore, the Indian government has imposed anti-dumping duties on solar photovoltaic glass which is imported from China and Vietnam to protect domestic manufacturers from unfair pricing practices. The measure aims to level the playing field for local producers and is expected to further boost domestic production capacity in the forecast period.

For instance, in March 2023, the Government of India launched the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme to support the domestic manufacturing of high-efficiency solar modules and components and encourage manufacturers to invest in both domestic and international markets. This development will help the solar manufacturer to produce highly efficient solar panels and components in the country.

Anti-Reflective Coated Glass to Dominate the India Market

Anti-reflective coated glass experienced a high adoption rate in the forecast period which made the segment dominate the Indian market. Anti-reflective (AR) coated glass comes with several advantages that significantly enhance the efficiency and performance of solar panels and BIPV technology. Anti-reflective solar photovoltaic glasses are specifically designed to minimize the reflection of sunlight. The anti-reflective coated glass boosts the absorption of light by the panels which allows for greater energy conversion.

The rise in the deployment of solar panels significantly drives the demand for anti-reflective coated glass. Consumers prefer the enhanced energy efficiency product for the renewable energy generation which fosters the anti-reflective coated glass market size.

Anti-reflective coated glass improves the performance of solar panels and contributes to energy savings in buildings by allowing more natural light while reducing glare. The benefits associated with anti-reflective coated glass encourage consumers and businesses to invest in advanced glass solutions.

West and Central Region Leads the Solar Photovoltaic Glass Market Share in India

The west and central regions dominate the solar photovoltaic glass market in India and are expected to continue their dominance during the forecast period.
