| Thin-film solar energy product producer, HelioVolt Corp. and Architectural Glass & Aluminum Co. (AGA) announced a partnership to develop and manufacture building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) products. The joint offering will incorporate solar energy systems directly into standardized curtain wall products, the exterior glass facades that dominate modern urban construction. By embedding PV thin film into building materials, the solar-enabled curtain walls are designed to improve aesthetics, simplify installation and reduce operating costs for solar energy in new construction.
