Bird friendly insulated glass (BFIG) is a type of glass that is designed to reduce bird collisions. BFIG units are made up of two or more panes of glass that are separated by a spacer. The spacer is designed to create a pattern that is visible to birds, but not to humans. The pattern helps to break up the reflection of the sky and trees, which can make it difficult for birds to see the glass.

Looking to make solar panels cheaper, MIT researchers have created sheets of glass coated with advanced organic dyes that more efficiently concentrate sunlight. The researchers, whose results appear in this week's issue of Science, say that the coated glass sheets could eventually make solar power as cheap as electricity from fossil fuels.

They say people in glass homes shouldn't throw stones. Well, this is one glass home you're not likely to find a squabbling pair in. In 1984, Buddhist monks in Thailand began gathering bottles to decorate their shelters.

A silver front surface mirror, also known as a front surface mirror or front-coated mirror, is optical mirror with a reflective coating applied directly to the front surface of the glass.In classic mirrors, the reflective coating is usually put to the back surface of the glass, resulting in a twofold reflection as light passes through it before being reflected back. large first surface mirror prevent secondary reflections, resulting in a cleaner and more accurate reflection. These specialized mirrors are often detailed in a mirror manual and can be considered a type of custom architectural glass. They are typically produced in a decorative glass factory that specializes in high-precision optical components. These mirrors are highly sought after by front surface mirror manufacturers like us for their precision and clarity in applications like laser systems, scientific instruments, and kaleidoscopes.

Whether you wear glasses as a backup when your eyes need a break from your contacts or they're your go-to vision aid, you know that between the frames and the lenses, eyeglasses are an investment.

In a move that will bring thin-film solar panels to the U.S. residential market, First Solar has signed a deal to provide installer SolarCity with 100 megawatts' worth of solar arrays over the next five years. First Solar is also investing $25 million into SolarCity, the Silicon Valley startup backed by Tesla Motors founder Elon Musk. This is First Solar's initial foray into the home market - and apparently the first of any thin-film solar module maker. Thin-film solar panels are made by depositing solar cells on sheets of glass or flexible material and use little of the expensive silicon that forms the heart of more bulky conventional solar modules. That makes thin-film panels cheaper, although they are less efficient at converting sunlight into electricity. And thin is in for homeowners who prefer less-obtrusive panels on their roofs.

Harnessing the energy of the sunlight that you purposefully block from your eyes while out on a bright and cheery day. Sounds very waste not, want not, right? Well, a group of designers came up with just the solution you may want for this notion, and it just might be the best looking solar powered accessory we've seen so far. The glasses are called SIG, or "Self-Energy Converting Sunglasses" and they can power your iPod or PSP while you're out walking around. The lenses are made of dye solar cells, and your iPod can plug into the jack at the bottom of the frame.

March 3, 2009 Arizona based First Solar has achieved a major milestone in reducing the manufacturing cost for solar panels below the $1 per watt price barrier - the target necessary for solar to compete with coal-burning electricity on the grid or grid-parity. Using cadmium telluride (CdTe) technology in its thin-film photovoltaic cells, First Solar claims to have the lowest manufacturing cost per watt in the industry with the ability to make solar cells at 98 cents per watt, one third of the price of comparable standard silicon panels. The efficiency is in part due to a low cycle time - 2.5 hours from sheet of glass to solar module - about a tenth of the time it takes for silicon equivalents.
