AGC Asahi Glass's "Sunjoule See-Through" has been adopted in the lower floors of the Nihonbashi Daiya Building. "Sunjoule See-Through" is a building-integrated solar cell module that sandwiches laser-cut amorphous silicon cells between two sheets of glass. In the upper floors, the glass-integrated solar cell "Sunjoule" has also been adopted. For more detailed information about the product, please visit the special page.

AGC's solar power-generating glass was adopted at Takanawa Gateway Station, which opened on March 14, 2020, in Shinagawa, Tokyo. Takanawa Gateway Station aims to be a gateway connecting Tokyo to the world, based on the concept of "Global Gateway Shinagawa." It is positioned as a place to start new initiatives by introducing the latest station service facilities and conducting demonstration experiments. As part of this effort, AGC's "Sunjoule" series, which combines solar power generation functionality with the bright spaces characteristic of glass, was adopted from the perspective of wanting to balance the "Eco Station" initiatives promoted by JR East, which incorporate environmental conservation technologies. The "Sunjoule" has been installed in two locations: the roof of the platform for trains heading toward Tokyo and the glass walls inside the station, contributing to a station that considers both the environment and comfort. (Note: The "Eco Station" initiative involves the introduction of various environmental conservation technologies, such as energy-saving and renewable energy, into the station. It is based on four pillars: "Energy Saving," "Energy Creation," "Eco Awareness," and "Environmental Harmony," with each eco menu being implemented at the station.)

Asahi Glass's ultra-lightweight solar cell module "Light Jewel" has received the 2014 New Energy Award, specifically the "Chairman's Award of the New Energy Foundation." [Key Points of the Award] By adopting Asahi Glass's chemically strengthened special glass "Leoflex"... - The cover glass, which accounts for two-thirds of the weight of the solar cell module, uses ultra-lightweight special glass, achieving a weight reduction to half of the conventional weight. - Significant weight reduction has been realized through unique technology, enhancing the installation possibilities on rooftops and other locations. [Ultra-Lightweight Solar Cell Module Ideal for Rooftops] - For roofs of private companies and industrial facilities It can be applied to buildings where installation has been difficult due to load-bearing constraints, such as warehouses, offices, factories, and stores. - For roofs of schools and public buildings It enables the use of clean energy in schools, cultural facilities, sports facilities, government buildings, hospitals, and welfare facilities, promoting eco-awareness. - For roofs of outdoor facilities such as stations and bus stops Its lightweight nature allows for installation in locations where weight is a concern, such as parking lots, bicycle parking areas, station buildings, bus stops, road lighting, and soundproof walls. - Being lightweight also reduces the sway during earthquakes, enhancing seismic resistance.
