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.)

This is a solar power generation system product featuring a light-transmitting type, large module based on laminated glass. Solar power generation cells are encapsulated between the glass, allowing for energy creation with eaves and facade glass. It combines a sense of openness with heat shielding performance, has high design quality, and offers a rich degree of design freedom for both exterior and interior. Nowadays, there is a growing demand for environmental consideration in various places, and Sunjoule can contribute to ZEB (Net Zero Energy Building), providing new possibilities as a type of glass.
