About SHAN-CING

Developing light-responsive building glass and smart energy applications.

Founded in Kaohsiung in 2022, SHAN-CING Co., Ltd. builds on materials and optics technologies to develop light-responsive building glass and smart energy applications. GOOPV is a key focus. Its electricity-generating glass is considered together with architectural appearance, construction and installation requirements, connecting materials development with the needs of a space.

From GOONA GLASS for automotive glazing to GOOPV for architectural applications, SHAN-CING applies its development experience to different environments. Materials selection, product design and validation consider appearance, installation and operating conditions alongside performance.

Research and Commercialization

Turning a design into a product involves checking dimensions, construction, appearance, production methods and installation conditions. SHAN-CING includes these considerations in its development work, using prototypes, testing and feedback from actual use to assess and refine designs.

Outdoor glass testing and agricultural shelter trials in Luzhu allow the team to observe installed glass and compare design assumptions with site conditions. These experiences inform subsequent product development and application assessments.

Automotive Glass and Building Integration

GOONA GLASS and GOOPV address different environments. The former addresses automotive glazing needs; the latter also considers facade appearance, construction, installation and electrical integration. BIPV means integrating power-generating materials into a building, so that glass becomes part of both the building envelope and its energy system.
