Solar Energy Applications

Safety is another significant advantage of tempered glass. In the event of breakage, it shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury. This safety feature is particularly essential in high-traffic areas and spaces where children play, such as homes, schools, and playgrounds. The use of tempered glass in balustrades, railings, and even glass fences ensures that safety is not compromised while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing design.

According to the 2023-2028 China photovoltaic glass industry market Outlook forecast and future development Trend Report released by the China Business Industry Research Institute, the daily melting demand for photovoltaic glass in 2022 is 51,000 tons/day. China Business Industry Research Institute analysts predict that the daily demand for photovoltaic glass will reach 75,000 tons/day in 2023, the daily demand for solar glass is expected to reach 98,000 tons/day in 2024, and the daily demand for solar glass will exceed 110,000 tons/day in 2025

The unit price of crystal is several times or even dozens of times higher than that of glass.

1) Crystal is a crystal, with a high hardness (Mohs level 7), while the hardness of glass is lower,(Mohs level 5.5), the crystal can mark the glass, and vice versa.

In the realm of art and photography, ultra clear glass is utilized for framing and protective covers, ensuring that artworks are displayed to their best advantage, without interference from color distortions. Additionally, it is also used in aquariums and other situations where clarity is essential for viewing.

Art and Sculpture

High strength: photovoltaic glass after special treatment, has high mechanical strength and impact resistance, can withstand wind pressure, snow, hail, throwing stones and other external and thermal stress impact, not easy to crack and crack.

(7) Check with a magnifying glass: check with a 10x magnifying glass under transmitted light, and the bubbles that can be found can basically be defined as false crystals.

Challenges and Future Outlook

In conclusion, tempered insulated glass units represent a state-of-the-art solution for modern building and design needs. Their strong safety features, energy efficiency, UV protection, noise reduction, and visual appeal make them a wise choice for a wide array of applications. As the demand for sustainable and aesthetically pleasing building materials grows, TIGUs are likely to continue playing a significant role in the architectural landscape.
