ARGICOAT is a system of layers on glass, which can sinterise at the same time as glass tempering. It directly impacts the LCOE of photovoltaic installations by increasing the transmittance of glass.
PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY
Photovoltaic solar is the energy generation technology with the most expectation of growth over the next 30 years, with the reduction of Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) being the main challenge of the next few years, as a common denominator for all renewables.
The key elements for this reduction are the improvement of the performance of photovoltaic modules and the reduction of O&M costs of photovoltaic installations.
