CPS is positioned to be the only patterned solar glass supplier in North America. Driven by an ambitious vision to add new domestic manufacturing capacity, CPS has initiated plans to build and operate an industry-leading sustainable solar glass manufacturing facility in Manitoba.
Besides influencing First Solar and its growing glass supply chain, policies such as the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are also spurring crystalline silicon manufacturing investment. This has triggered Canadian Premium Sand (CPS), a new entrant from Canada, to announce a solar panel glass project.
CPS glass can be used in solar panels – a key component of North American net-zero plans to reduce emissions. With 100% of North America’s patterned solar glass currently being imported, the lack of a made-in-North-America solution creates numerous challenges to our future customers.
NSG has been producing TCO-coated glass for thin-film PV for more than 25 years. “Every year the solar market is bigger and bigger; more capital, more resources,” said Stephen Weidner, who heads NSG’s North American architectural glass and solar products groups. “We see this on a global basis.” Glass for solar is becoming more significant.
Vitro Architectural Glass is supplying First Solar with additional US capacity. In October 2023, it announced an expansion of its contract with First Solar and a plan to invest in a plant in Pennsylvania, as well as in adapting existing PV glass facilities.
Anshul Vishal, head of corporate development at CPS, estimates that demand for solar pattern glass in North America will reach nearly 100 GW by 2030. This growth is driven by the reshoring of the solar panel manufacturing supply chain in the US.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
