A kind of high capacity energy efficiency solar glass developed for zero energy buildings is introduced in this paper. The glass called Heat Insulation Solar Glass (HISG) can generate solar power as well as decrease energy consumption to reach a target of highest energy efficiency capacity. According to a real testing of glass house, the HISG can generate high solar power and save energy consumption of cooling and heating system. All the solar power generation from HISG can supply all the energy consumption of cooling and heating system all year and still have remaining power to supply another energy consumption of a building. Compared with all the other energy efficiency glass, the HISG is a kind of highest energy efficiency solar glass in the world for the application on the zero energy buildings and low carbon buildings
Keywords. solar glass; insulation; energy efficiency; zero energy buildings; low carbon buildings
