In recent years, the United States has increased the use of solar and wind power for electricity production. The increase is due to various factors including ease of installation and maintenance, as well as affordability. Solar and wind prices decreased 89% and 70%, respectively, between 2009 and 2019, according to investment bank Lazard’s annual cost of energy report. Per the Solar Energy Industries Association, by 2030, approximately 1 in 7 homes will have solar panels installed on their rooftop.
The U.S. Department of Energy claims that preserving your panels' surface with a glass coating can boost the photoelectric effect by up to 3-6%. The market for glass coatings will be worth USD 5.26 billion, growing at a 11.92% CAGR during 2021-2030.
