Corning willow glass solar panels. The main reasons we went for solar power were threefold. The us government s national renewable energy laboratory has built flexible solar cells out of corning s willow glass. Chowdhury division vice president and technology executive corning technology center korea. Corning incorporated nyse glw is supplying customers with samples of corning willow glass an advanced glass technology that promises to influence the shape and form of next generation consumer electronic devices while emerging as the barrier layer material of choice for several market segments.
Corning willow glass greatly expands the process window for manufacturing high performance perovskite solar modules using high speed. Roll to roll processable flexible willow glass is a uniquely tailored substrate for printed perovskite based photovoltaic panels because of thermo mechanical stability optical clarity surface quality and excellent barrier property said dr. Willow glass is ultra thin lightweight conformable. Watch this video to learn more about our fusion manufacturing process.
Today s solar panels require efficiency and long life. These new solar cells are strong enough that they could eventually replace. Most notably the solar panel industry. Corning incorporated nyse glw and au optronics corporation auo today announced that they have agreed to collaborate on a solar power generation project in taiwan that will provide enough electricity to meet the power needs of approximately 300 u s.
Made using corning s proprietary fusion draw process it is manufactured at thicknesses that create unique properties such as the ability to be flexed. Households a year while significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Willow glass supports the solar technology that s strongest in the u s and the combination could be profitable all the way down the channel. Starting from the creation of a glass encasement for thomas edison s light bulb corning has a long legacy of scientific advancements.
According to david watson division controller corning pharma glass cpg the panels make up the 12 th largest rooftop solar array in the world. Roll to roll processable flexible willow glass is a uniquely tailored substrate for printed perovskite based photovoltaic panels because of thermo mechanical stability optical clarity surface quality and excellent barrier property said dr.
