GOOPV Architectural Glass 
Frequently Asked Questions
SHAN-CING develops GOOPV photovoltaic building glass, combining daylighting, thermal insulation and power generation. The range also includes GOOTREE and GOOFLOWER for public spaces, the GOOBOX modular energy-space concept, and GOONA GLASS for the Tesla Model Y panoramic roof.
Yes. GOOPV has been installed on the facade of the ITRI Energy Center in Shalun, Tainan. The GOOPV page includes photographs of this installation, product features and standard module sizes for initial project planning.
Please provide the site location, building use, proposed installation area, orientation, dimensions or drawings, and your daylighting, thermal and power requirements. Architectural, glazing and electrical information helps assess the glass assembly, supports and wiring.
Potential applications include facades, skylights, canopies, parapets and noise barriers. Safety, structural loads, daylighting and maintenance requirements differ by application and must be assessed for each project. Concept images do not imply that every application has been built.
Compare visible light transmittance (VLT), visible light reflectance (VLR), shading coefficient (SC) and thermal transmittance (U-value), together with the glass assembly and test conditions. SC and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) are different quantities and should not be treated as interchangeable values.
The insulating cavity reduces heat transfer, and the assembly uses tempered glass on both sides. Glass composition, thickness, supports and safety requirements must be assessed as a complete glazing system. The thickness of a single pane alone does not establish the safety of an installation.
The front shows glass reflections with partial views through the glazing; the rear has a blue-green appearance and can appear more transparent. Lighting, viewing angle and the contrast between indoors and outdoors affect its appearance. Use physical samples to assess appearance and the technical data sheet to assess thermal performance.
No. Rated module power is measured under standard test conditions (STC). Energy generated on site depends on orientation, tilt, sunlight, shading, temperature and the system configuration. A power rating is not a promise of a fixed daily energy yield.
Six standard module sizes cover rated outputs from 50 W to 210 W. Selection should follow the opening dimensions and facade grid; glass composition, thickness and installation details must also be confirmed. Please contact us to assess non-standard requirements.
GOOTREE combines a tree-like structure with seating, lighting and information services. GOOFLOWER combines a glass flower form with landscape lighting and energy information. Both are being discussed for projects; the functions and configuration of each installation require project-specific confirmation.
GOOTREE can be planned for charging, lighting, information and communications, assistance and backup functions. GOOFLOWER can support lighting, USB charging and energy information. Capacity, loads, operating hours and grid connections require assessment. Illustrations do not mean that every function is included as standard.
GOOBOX is a modular energy-space concept using GOOPV glass. It currently has no completed installations. Potential uses include workspaces, displays and equipment shelters, with daylighting, thermal performance, ventilation, energy needs, dimensions and configuration assessed for each project.
SHAN-CING develops, designs and manufactures GOONA GLASS but does not sell it directly. Please contact the listed retailers and installers, or the sales LINE account @604pfabn, to confirm model-year compatibility, stock and installation appointments.
For building and public-space projects, clarify product, installation and system warranties separately, including coverage, maintenance requirements and service contacts. For GOONA GLASS, obtain the applicable terms from your retailer and keep the purchase and installation records. Terms for different products are not interchangeable.
Visit Downloads for the current technical data sheet and catalogues, and check their version and model coverage. If a catalogue differs from an updated specification, confirm the applicable version for your project. Contact us for configuration advice or a site assessment.
