The photovoltaic cells will be manufactured in Japan and the glass will be manufactured with cooperation from local partners. I hope that we can spread our photovoltaic power generation glass to many countries.” Advanced glass developed in Japan may come to change the windows and walls of the world.
The power generation glass is made using SQPV (SQ Photovoltaic) technology, which has a visible light transmittance of 75% and is capable of providing both heat insulation and power generation. The glass is able to generate power from both sides of the glass. It can also substantially reduce the heat generated by sunlight.
The windows feature a transparent photovoltaic coating with an invisible element of power generation, capable of absorbing non-visible wavelengths. NSG says it will demonstrate transparent photovoltaic windows made by US technology company Ubiquitous Energy in an indoor environment at Takanawa Gateway Station, a train station in Tokyo.
NSG says it will demonstrate transparent photovoltaic windows made by US technology company Ubiquitous Energy in an indoor environment at Takanawa Gateway Station, a train station in Tokyo. NSG is leading a consortium formed by Japanese oil company Eneos, East Japan Railway Company, and Japanese architectural firm YKK AP.
Nippon Sheet Glass (NSG), Japan’s largest glassmaker, plans to show photovoltaic windows developed by its US unit, Ubiquitous Energy, at a train station in Japan. The windows feature a transparent photovoltaic coating with an invisible element of power generation, capable of absorbing non-visible wavelengths.
The latest from Japan introduces a game-changing technology: translucent solar panels that can become functional window glass, aptly named “solar glass.” By contrast, unlike traditional Si solar panels, the so-called SQPV is designed to convert a broad range of light into electrical energy, from UV to IR, rather than just visible light.
