Photovoltaics

Scalable, high-efficient float glass production

Local solar glass production is a key success factor for an EU based PV industry
Ready to meet the growing demand of the PV industry
High degree of automation – a consistently high processing quality is of critical importance particularly for high volume production

Experience, know-how and a high degree of automation in glass processing
Super thin and super strong – The heat-strengthened only 2 mm thick float glass has been awarded general approval (DIBT) No. Z-70.4-194 by the German building supervisory authority (DIBt) in Berlin
One-of-a-kind continuous flat tempering furnace platform which achieves best results in terms of flatness and bending tensile strength
Ultra-durable AR coating is easy to process and extremely robust
Glass-glass photovoltaic modules, based on AR-coated solar float glass have excellent aesthetics

AGC’s industrial float glass process complies with the most stringent production tolerances, ensuring the lowest possible defect density
We guarantee that our extra-clear float glass is arsenic- and antimony-free – the ideal choice for trouble-free recycling
The SunMax range is Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Bronze
