With 50 years experience as a global leader in the glass processing equipment business, LiSEC sees the solar market as fertile ground for its innovative expertise. The Austrian company has a special tempering system for thin glass as well as a turnkey PV module encapsulation line among its offerings to the industry. This video interview conducted at the recent SNEC trade show in Shanghai begins with a short chat with CEO Karl Gruber, then continues with a conversation with Richard Bruckner and Johann Weixlberger, two of the key people involved in R&D and business development at LiSEC. The pair discuss innovations such as ultrathin bendable glass and glass-glass modules (examples of which are shown in the video) as well as the PV and CSP market opportunities being pursued by the company.

This video is great, once you get past the typical corporate interviews… They actually show 2mm thin, but large 1m x 3m long glass sheets that can FLEX repeatedly in a full-arc. Furthermore, they even show a football player running into one these large glass sheets at full speed and show the glass elastically deforms and rebounds without shattering. AMAZING! This is really going to change how solar is made, shipped, installed. No need for expensive oil based plastic laminate solar, go flex glass!
