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.)

Integrated building material solar power generation glass "Sunjoule"
This is solar power generation glass (BIPV) that contributes to decarbonization (CO2 reduction). It can generate electricity in various glass areas of buildings (such as windows).

This is a solar power generation system based on reinforced glass types, featuring a daylighting design, frameless construction, and large modules, combining a sense of openness with thermal shielding performance. It allows for the configuration of glass that aligns with the design intent, enabling the realization of systems suitable for canopies, openings, and other areas, thereby enhancing the value of buildings. 【Specifications】 - Maximum dimensions: 2000 mm × 3800 mm (please inquire for larger sizes) - Solar cell spacing: 10 mm to 30 mm - Glass composition: 4 mm + 4 mm heat-treated glass and above 【Solar cells used in glass-integrated solar panels】 Solar cells are classified into monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and amorphous types. They are selected based on the location, application, and purpose. There are also bifacial solar cells that generate power by receiving light from both sides, and vertical usage is proposed as an application that leverages their characteristics. ■Contact Information■ AGC Inc.
