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.
