AGC Asia Pacific Company (Headquarters: Singapore) provides one-stop services from basic design to material supply and construction.

AGC's solar power generation glass has been adopted for the new campus of Singapore University of Technology and Design, scheduled to open in 2024. This campus aims to obtain the SLE (Super Low Energy) certification established by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore, which is awarded to buildings that reduce energy consumption and generation by over 40% compared to conventional buildings. The adoption of solar power generation glass contributes to this goal. By generating power on-site with AGC's solar power generation glass, the campus will reduce its dependence on large-scale power plants, while also allowing for natural lighting, creating a bright space.

basic information

AGC's solar power generation glass is a product that incorporates power generation cells between layers of laminated glass. It possesses the functions of glass transparency and durability while also having aesthetic qualities, enabling energy creation. In typical solar panels, the installation location on buildings is often limited to roofs; however, this product can be installed in various parts of a building, such as windows, skylights, canopies, railings, and walls. Since it allows for the generation of renewable energy in areas that have not been utilized before, it contributes to the goal of a decarbonized and carbon-neutral society. There are also cases where this product has been used to achieve 'ZEB' (Net Zero Energy Building). AGC's solar power generation glass is an energy creation product that meets customers' needs for "SDGs measures" and "visualization of environmental responses." Additionally, because it generates power on-site, it can also be used as an emergency power source during power outages caused by disasters.
