Solar photovoltaic (PV) glass is a specialized type of glass that integrates solar cells, which generate electricity from the sun's rays. In order for the glass to turn sunshine into energy, a layer of translucent solar cells is coated onto the surface of the glass.
It can be used to produce green energy and lessen dependence on non-renewable sources in the shape of rooftops, skylights, windows, and building surfaces. Additionally, solar PV glass contributes to energy cost reduction, increased interior warmth, and improved building aesthetics.
SAGEGLASS® Classic and Harmony® electrochromic glazing deliver dynamic solar management, enhancing both visual and thermal comfort. CONTRAFLAM® fire-resistant glass from Vetrotech Saint-Gobain adds advanced safety and protection.
Based in Tokyo, Japan, AGC Solar was established in 1907. They are one of the best solar photovoltaic glass manufacturers in the world. The primary objective of AGC is the industrial manufacturing and sale of ultra-low-iron solar float glass with a solid and long-lasting anti-reflective covering.
