What is solar glass & how does it work?

Photovoltaic cells embedded in the glass capture solar energy and convert it into electricity. A sleek and attractive alternative to solar panels, this ingenious energy-creating glass is part of the building rather than an attachment – a beautiful way to let the outside in and create clean energy at the same time.

What is a glass-integrated solar cell?

AGC manufactures glass-integrated solar cells that can also be used as glass building materials. In this issue, we take a closer look at how "power generation with glass" works. Question 1 What are "glass-integrated solar cells"？ Glass-integrated solar cells are glass that can generate solar power in addition to basic glass functions.

What is sunjoule glass?

Sunjoule contributes to the enhancement of the value of buildings and structures as a glass that pursues high design and functionality, thanks to a degree of freedom that has never before been available in solar cells. Power generation with glass. AGC's SUNJUR®.

Can glass produce energy?

It’s liberating to gaze at a vast expanse of sky, with clouds passing overhead. But what if the glass in the glazed roof area, conservatory or balcony could produce energy too? It’s now possible with the latest advances in glass. Photovoltaic cells embedded in the glass capture solar energy and convert it into electricity.

What is sunjoule tempered glass used for?

The use of tempered glass makes Sunjoule sturdier and more efficient, even when installed vertically, since power can be generated on both sides of the glass. Because of these features, Sunjoule can be used in a variety of applications, including walls, facades, skylights, and railings, without sacrificing design.

Is glass a good alternative to solar panels?

A sleek and attractive alternative to solar panels, this ingenious energy-creating glass is part of the building rather than an attachment – a beautiful way to let the outside in and create clean energy at the same time. Anyone who has spent time sitting behind glass will know that temperature control has traditionally been an issue.
