Equipment for glass photovoltaic power generation

What is AGC solar glass used for?

The AGC solar glass range covers two main applications: Concentrating Solar Power (industrial electricity generation) and Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) (electricity generation) Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is used to generate clean electricity from the sun, normally at utility scale.

What is a solarvolt BIPV glass system?

EXPLORE The Solarvolt BIPV glass system replaces traditional façade cladding materials and enhances commercial building exteriors by providing sunshading, overhead glazing, CO2-free power generation and more.

Will photovoltaic cells be made in Japan?

The photovoltaic cells will be manufactured in Japan and the glass will be manufactured with cooperation from local partners. I hope that we can spread our photovoltaic power generation glass to many countries.” Advanced glass developed in Japan may come to change the windows and walls of the world.

What is a BIPV glass system?

Doubling as a building component to enhance sustainability and energy efficiency in commercial buildings, the Solarvolt™ BIPV glass system has been honored for delivering high performance, aesthetics and CO2-free power generation while replacing conventional building materials. Complement classic building materials — or replace them.

What is solar glass and how does it work?

Solar glass is a unique type of glass that harnesses the power of the sun. To the naked eye, it looks just like regular glass, but it has the ability to turn any building into an energy-generating solar array.

Can solarvolt TM BIPV glass be used with spandrel glass?

In addition to power generation, Solarvolt ™ BIPV glass systems also reduce air conditioning costs. To meet your design and environmental performance objectives, Solarvolt ™ BIPV glass can be used with spandrel glass, as well as any Vitro low-emissivity (low-e) coating and glass substrate, including tinted glass.
