Companies from various industrial fields are busily preparing for the widespread of photovoltaic generation. Asahi Glass will put its �Leoflex� that is thin and splinterless special glass on the market nationwide coming June. The company has been shipping �Leoflex� to some solar battery manufacturers, and decided to sell it in such industrial markets as architecture and illumination.
Leoflex is roughly 910 wide and1,820 mm deep, and weighs about 3 kg. It is about 0.8 mm thick that is nearly a quarter of thickness of the existing glass. Its surface is treated by chemical to make it hard to break. Fuji Pream, one of Japan�s leading manufacturers of optical filters, became the first company that introduced Leoflex. It is likely that Leoflex will facilitate the spread of photovoltaic generation because light weight is a great advantage for a system to be installed on the rooftop of a house.
Leoflex's image is available in the following pdf. file.
