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 product can generate electricity from various glass parts of buildings (such as windows) and contributes to decarbonization (CO2 reduction). It is particularly effective in situations where solar panels cannot be installed on the roof. (It can be utilized in facades, skylights, louvers, handrails, walls, etc.) Additionally, it can be used without issues in snow-prone areas due to its vertical installation. It contributes to the carbon neutrality of companies and municipalities, as well as the realization of ZEB (Net Zero Energy Buildings)! There are also cases eligible for subsidies in addition to ZEB. We can provide one-stop consultation, including equipment, through the AGC Group, so please feel free to contact us if you are interested. 【Features】 - The grid-like arrangement of cells creates a unique space with light and shadow. - Light passes through the gaps between the cells and surrounding areas, achieving a balanced lighting and shading effect. - Various installation methods are possible, including frameless options, ensuring design flexibility for creating open spaces. - Leveraging technology developed for building glass, we supply large reinforced or heat-treated glass modules with a consistent responsibility system from construction to delivery. - The modules are highly durable and have a long lifespan. - With extensive design and construction capabilities for openings, we install reliable power generation systems.
basic information
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.

AGC Asahi Glass's "Sunjule See-Through" has been adopted in the lower floors of the Nihonbashi Daiya Building.
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 generation glass has been adopted at Takanawa Gateway Station.
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.)
