In recent years, the industry has carried out continuous technological research around improving the performance of drip glue panels, and a series of innovative achievements have been gradually implemented. In the material field, new epoxy resin formulations have constructed a three-dimensional protective network by adding special antioxidants and ultraviolet shielding agents, significantly slowing down the material yellowing rate and improving the light transmittance retention rate; the application of nanomaterial enhancement technology has further improved the moisture-heat aging resistance and crack resistance of encapsulation materials, effectively solving the service life bottleneck of traditional products. On the process side, dual curing technology has achieved a balance between rapid molding and deep curing, greatly improving production efficiency while ensuring product stability; the popularization of automated precision dispensing equipment has improved production consistency, laying the foundation for large-scale mass production.
Comprehensive Expansion of Application Scenarios, Empowering Green Development in Multiple Fields
With technological upgrading, the application boundaries of drip glue panels have been continuously broken through. In the field of distributed PV, its proportion in household rooftops and industrial park distributed systems has gradually increased. In 2023, this proportion reached 35%, and it is expected to rise to 45% by 2025; in the field of portable energy equipment, its combination with outdoor power supplies, solar backpacks and other products has met the energy needs of outdoor sports, emergency power supply and other scenarios, becoming an important driving force for the growth of the portable energy storage market. In the field of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), the integration of colored drip glue components with building facades, sunshades and PV windows has realized the dual value of "power generation function + architectural aesthetics", and the penetration rate in green building projects has continued to rise. In addition, in special scenarios such as vehicle-mounted auxiliary power supply and agricultural greenhouse irrigation systems, the weather resistance and adaptability advantages of drip glue panels have also been gradually verified in applications.
Multi-Dimensional Trends Lead Development, Significant Market Growth Potential
Looking forward to the future, the solar drip glue panel industry will continue to advance towards the directions of high-performance materials, intelligent manufacturing, green products and diversified applications, with significant market growth potential. Industry research data shows that the market size of China's solar cell drip glue small components reached 12 billion yuan in 2023, and is expected to increase to 18 billion yuan by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of about 15%; globally, the market size of related encapsulation materials is expected to achieve substantial growth by 2032 compared with 2024, showing broad market space.
At the technical and product level, green environmental protection will become the core development direction. The R&D and large-scale application of environmentally friendly encapsulation materials such as bio-based resins will accelerate, reducing the carbon footprint in the production process; the breakthrough of degradable encapsulation technology will promote the improvement of the PV component recycling system, in line with the requirements of circular economy development. At the same time, the trend of intelligent upgrading is obvious. Intelligent drip glue panels integrated with micro-sensors will realize real-time monitoring of operating status and abnormal early warning. Combined with self-cleaning coating technology, it will further reduce maintenance costs and improve system reliability.
At the market and industrial level, customized demand will continue to grow. In 2023, the proportion of customized demand reached 28%, and it is expected to rise to 35% by 2025. Personalized products for different scenarios will become an important direction of enterprise competition. On the policy side, new energy support policies under the global carbon neutrality goal, as well as the promotion of green buildings and distributed PV in various countries, will provide continuous policy dividends for the drip glue panel industry. Industrial chain integration and supply chain optimization will also become the focus of industry development. Through upstream and downstream collaborative innovation, production costs will be further reduced, and the overall competitiveness of the industry will be improved.
As an important segmented field of the PV industry, solar drip glue panels are achieving high-quality development through technological iteration and scenario expansion. In the future, with the continuous breakthroughs in materials and processes and the continuous enrichment of application scenarios, they will play a more important role in the global energy transition process and inject sustained impetus into green development in multiple fields.
