AGC's solar power generation glass has been adopted at Takanawa Gateway Station.

Introducing examples of the adoption of AGC's "Sunjoule" series, which combines solar power generation capabilities with the bright space unique to glass.

AGC's solar power-generating glass has been 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, with the introduction of the latest station service facilities and ongoing demonstration experiments. As part of this effort, AGC's "Sunjule" 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, with a design that ensures ample natural light. The "Sunjule" has been installed in two locations: the roof of the platform for trains heading towards Tokyo and the glass walls within the station, contributing to a station that considers both the environment and comfort. *The initiative to introduce 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 Experience," and "Environmental Harmony," with each eco menu being implemented at the station.
