Glass for Europe is officially a member of the European Solar PV Industry Alliance, an initiative launched in December 2022 by the European Commission. The Alliance gathers key players in the value chain of the solar energy industry and aims at scaling up the production of solar PV panels and value chain components in Europe.
Glass for Europe represents almost 90% of flat glass production in the EU and its members can play a key role in re-building a European solar industry in the EU. The main goal of the European Solar PV Industry Alliance is to mobilise finance for European solar PV projects to increase the manufacturing capacity.
As the European branch of AGC, a world leader in flat glass, AGC Glass Europe has over 100 sites throughout Europe and around 15,300 employees. Solar systems for use in energy generation, such as photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP), are a fast-growing market with enormous potential for reducing CO2 emissions.
Solar glass is similar to transparent solar panels as they it looks a lot like glass panes. The glass has a thin film of solar PV technology over it which can generate electricity from the sun.
In the context of the growing focus on summer comfort introduced by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the upcoming EU Heating and Cooling Strategy,
