In recent years, with the continuous advancement of photovoltaic technology and the enhancement of environmental awareness, photovoltaic power generation, as a clean and solar renewable energy, is gradually attracting global attention.

According to the "Global PV Market Outlook for the first Quarter of 2024" report released by PV-Tech, the global PV installed capacity will increase from about 444GWdc in 2023 to 655GWdc this year. China will continue to dominate the installed capacity in 2024 (313.7GWdc), accounting for 54.7% of the new global PV capacity installed this year. It was followed by the United States (40.6GWdc), India (18.1GWdc), Brazil (17GWdc) and Germany (16.5GWdc).

At present, BIPV technology has been widely used, especially in public buildings, commercial buildings and residential buildings. By combining photovoltaic building materials products with building roofs, walls and other structures, BIPV technology achieves building self-sufficiency, reduces carbon emissions, and improves energy efficiency.

Under the carbon neutrality goals, China traditional PV solar manufacturers are speeding the development of PV field and more applications of solar PV new energy. You will see as below informaitons:

Photovoltaic PV film as a part of one of the materials for solar panels encapsulations, the main role is to adhesive solar cells, solar temper glass and solar backsheet together. According to the actual application requirements of solar PV modules, in the premise of ensuring the transmission performance of the module can isolate the external water vapor, extend the life of the solar module, protect the battery, and package it into a solar module that can output direct current. Photovoltaic PV film in general should have high transparency, high adhesion, good weather resistance and easy storage, good sound insulation effect, low melting point, easy flow and other excellent performance characteristics.

Rooftop solar panels are photovoltaic (PV) panels that are installed on the roofs of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to capture and convert sunlight into usable electricity. These panels consist of multiple solar cells made from semiconductor materials, typically silicon, which generate direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight.

The photovoltaic front sheet and back sheet are very important for the solar panels encapsulation. In general, the photovoltaic backsheet is mostly PET based polymer materials, while the front plate is mostly photovoltaic glass. Photovoltaic backsheet mainly has three layers, the outer layer is mostly fluorine-containing polymer film, which has good environmental corrosion resistance; the middle layer is PET layer, which has good insulation performance, and the inner layer has good bonding effect with EVA and so on.
