TUORUNDA® Power Generation Glass
TRD® Cadmium Telluride Power Generating Glass is known as the “generator of the glass world” and is a truly green and clean energy source.
It is safe and reliable, with a strength greater than stone, a life span exceeding the life cycle of a building, adaptable to harsh environments, and free of hot spot effect. The product is beautiful and practical, can be customized transmittance, color, pattern, etc., can be matched with a variety of building materials, the conversion efficiency of 17% or more, high power generation, the full production cycle of pollution-free, low carbon emissions.
The products are available in a variety of sizes and can be customized for a wide range of applications, including curtain walls, roofs, doors and windows.
The Advantages Of Power Generation Glass
Safe & Reliable
Strength exceeds that of stone; tempered glass meets architectural requirements; no hot spot effect, reducing fire risks; adaptable to extreme environments from -40°C to 85°C.
Efficient Power Generation
17.8% photoelectric conversion efficiency; excellent low-light performance (capable of generating electricity on cloudy/rainy/snowy days); total attenuation of only 13% over 30 years; 25-year excess linear power output.
Aesthetic & Practical
Adjustable light transmittance from 0% to 50%; supports customization of colors (red/blue/yellow/green, etc.), patterns (wood grain/marble, etc.), and sizes; can be perfectly matched with glass, stone, and aluminum panels.
Eco-Friendly
Strength exceeds that of stone; tempered glass meets architectural requirements; no hot spot effect, reducing fire risks; adaptable to extreme environments from -40°C to 85°C.
Flexible Scenarios
No angle requirements for installation; can replace traditional building materials; suitable for multiple scenarios such as curtain walls, rooftops, doors, windows, sunrooms, greenhouses, and charging piles.
| Dimension | Power Generation Glass | Monocrystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Panels |
|---|---|---|
| Application Scenarios | Full scenarios including curtain walls, rooftops, doors, windows, greenhouses, etc. | Only suitable for rooftops (with specific angles) |
| Power Generation Conditions | Can generate electricity in low light (cloudy/snowy days, etc.) | Dependent on strong light, low efficiency in low light |
| Customization | Full customization of light transmittance/color/pattern/size | Only 0% light transmittance, no customization |
| Attenuation Rate | 13% attenuation in 30 years | 26% attenuation in 20 years |
| Maintenance Cost | Almost no maintenance (dust/snow does not affect) | Requires cleaning every quarter, high cost |
Application
TUORUNDA® One-Stop Solutions: Aluminum Awning + Power Generation Glass
When an aluminum awning evolves from a mere weather shelter to a “green energy unit” integrating power generation, aesthetics, and building safety—that’s the core value of TUORUNDA®’s one-stop solutions.
1. From Demand to Solution: Customized Consulting for Core Value
At project kickoff, we analyze specifics like load, frame compatibility, lighting, and aesthetics. Leveraging CdTe glass strengths (durability, aluminum compatibility), we deliver targeted assessments—structural safety, power simulation, cost optimization—ensuring alignment with needs from the start.
2. From Design to Implementation: Integrated Design for Symbiosis
The key challenge lies in fusing aluminum frames with power glass—balancing wind resistance, load capacity, and power generation efficiency. Our design team collaborates with structural engineers and PV experts to:
- Customize products: Tailor glass sizes (e.g., 1200×600mm classic or 1200×1800mm large format) to awning dimensions (1100mm, 2500mm, etc.), with color/digital printing options for aesthetic harmony.
- Optimize details: Use laminated structures (3.2mm CdTe + EVA + tempered glass) for impact resistance; adopt back/side junction boxes to avoid damaging the aluminum frame, ensuring both power generation and protection.
- Streamline construction: Offer prefabricated installation to reduce on-site time, making assembly as efficient as “building blocks.”
3. From Delivery to Operation: Lifecycle Support for Sustained Value
