Empowering Solar Efficiency: AGC Solar at Intersolar

Brussels (ots) - AGC Solar is taking part in Intersolar, the
world's largest solar technology trade fair, held from 27 to 29 May
in Munich, to show its solar products and technologies. It is seizing
this opportunity to introduce the main features of its new
communication campaign. The focus is on innovative technology
expressed in various types of value-added glass for solar
applications all over the world.

The AGC Solar range covers three main applications: photovoltaic
panels, thermal collectors and concentrating solar mirrors. Thanks to
its light transmission and conductive properties, AGC glass plays a
major role in the development of high quality products for solar
applications.

During the fair, AGC Solar (Hall A3, Stand 402) will present some
striking examples of its product range aimed at producers, assemblers
and specifiers for various solar uses. For application in
photovoltaic panels, there is the AGC Transparent Conductive Oxide
(TCO) coated clear and extra-clear glass which covers the surface of
thin film solar batteries and acts as a conductor to extract
electrical energy. The Mo (Molybdenum) coated glass, an entirely new
product, acts as a back electrode for thin film CIGS. The extra-clear
patterned glass with antireflective coatings (ARC) - known under its
brands Solite Plus® and Solatex Plus® - for its part can be used as
cover glass for photovoltaic panels based on crystalline and thin
film technologies (CIGS), as well as for thermal uses. The product to
be seen for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is the extra-thin but
also extra-clear solar mirror.

Besides glass, the fluoroethylene film ETFE from AGC Chemicals
completes the range of materials for solar cells at the fair. It is
used in e.g. front cover films and backing sheets because it is
durable, water proof and an electrical insulator.

On the communication side, AGC's drive for innovative solar glass
technologies to serve its customers around the world and its
expertise in clean energy sources are summed up in the simple slogan
"Empowering Solar Efficiency". This is reinforced by the image of
clean nature in which energy in the form of solar power is praised
and captured. A complete new website www.agc-solar.com with easy
navigation and straightforward information about the know-how of AGC
in the solar market will be on line as of May 27.

AGC Solar, worldwide know-how in solar glass

AGC Solar is a key player in the solar glass business. As part of
the world leader in glass production, AGC, it benefits from the
latest glass technologies to make renewable energy a success. The
company operates with plants in Europe, North America and Asia and
produces glass solutions for three main solar applications:
photovoltaic modules, thermal collectors and concentrating solar
mirrors. It aims for the highest production standards for increased
performance and works through a worldwide network to serve its
customers. Its slogan "Empowering Solar Efficiency" says it all.
