From pv magazine 02/25Polymer backsheets have received little attention in recent years, amid doubts about durability and limited transparent polymer options. Module makers have instead used glass on both sides, particularly in the large-scale project segment. Around 45% of modules currently being produced still feature backsheets, and while the trend toward glass-glass is set to continue, backsheet demand is reportedly rising.

From pv magazine 12/24-01/25pv magazine: How did you get started with Origami Solar? Gregg Patterson: The one thing in a PV system that hasn’t changed or seen any real innovation in the 60-plus years that solar has been around is the module frame. It is the only component in an entire PV project that hasn’t seen radical improvements or innovation, and cost reductions have only come with significant performance loss. We saw a big opportunity here.

From pv magazine 12/24-01/25Module price madnessFalling prices for solar modules was the defining solar trend in 2024. In January, mainstream prices were approaching $0.15/W in an oversupplied market. Energy price consultant OPIS reported below-production-cost $0.087/W prices for the latest tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) products in mid-November 2024, and further drops are still rumored. While low pricing typically spurs demand, oversupply has been exacerbated by constraints on orders.
