BIPV Benchmark Project! China's Largest Airport Cadmium Telluride Solar Power Glass Skylight Project Arrives

In Fuzhou, a city with a long history and vibrant energy, a new aviation landmark is rising—the newly constructed T2 terminal of the Fuzhou Changle International Airport Phase II expansion project. Its smooth and expansive metal roof design resembles a soaring goose, embodying Fuzhou's unique regional culture and natural landscape, and showcasing the region's firm determination in upgrading its aviation hub and pursuing green transformation. As a leading enterprise in the BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) industry, Longyan Energy, with its superior cadmium telluride photovoltaic technology products, has infused green energy into this iconic project, jointly creating a new picture of a green aviation hub.

Cadmium Telluride Photovoltaic Building Materials Light Up New Aviation Landmark

The Fuzhou Changle International Airport T2 terminal, as a landmark strategic project in Fujian Province's 14th Five-Year Plan, draws design inspiration from Fuzhou's core concept of "soaring wings," aiming to create a modern aviation hub that integrates efficiency, green technology, and intelligence. In this grand blueprint, Longyan Energy's "Crystal" series translucent double-silver Low-E vacuum laminated cadmium telluride photovoltaic power generation glass is used as the core material for the T2 terminal's BIPV photovoltaic skylight, with approximately 4,000 units installed, covering nearly 9,000 square meters. The T2 terminal's BIPV photovoltaic skylight, equipped with this glass, has become the largest photovoltaic skylight project using translucent cadmium telluride photovoltaic power generation glass in domestic airports, demonstrating exceptional significance.

This cadmium telluride power generation glass product adopts advanced translucent double-silver Low-E vacuum lamination technology, with a light transmittance of up to 50%. Its structure is 5TP+1.52PVB+3.2CdTe+1.52PVB+5TP+16A+(double-silver Low-E) 10TP+1.52PVB+10TP tempered laminated ultra-white Low-E glass, ensuring natural indoor lighting while possessing excellent heat insulation and safety performance.
In terms of green power generation, cadmium telluride thin-film photovoltaic power generation glass, with its advantages of safety, reliability, aesthetics, low light reflection, and strong power generation capacity, can continuously generate green energy, effectively reducing building energy consumption; in terms of transparent lighting, the uniform and transparent lighting effect and the addition of ultra-white glass make the indoor light brighter and more comfortable; in terms of heat insulation performance, the air layer and Low-E glass effectively block heat transfer, reducing air conditioning energy consumption; in terms of safety, multi-layer tempered glass and PVB film provide high strength and safety protection; in terms of durability, tempered glass and PVB film have good durability, resisting wind and rain erosion, and extending service life. ▲ Workers are installing cadmium telluride photovoltaic power generation glass
Innovative Practices Lead the Green Development Trend

According to statistics, the project used more than ten sizes of cadmium telluride power generation glass, including 1480*1200mm, 1480*1136mm, and 1480*910mm, with an installed capacity of 620.28KW. The estimated annual power generation exceeds 630,000 kWh, equivalent to an annual reduction of 628 tons of carbon dioxide, and a cumulative reduction of approximately 15,700 tons of carbon dioxide over 25 years. This innovative practice not only echoes the national building photovoltaic strategy but also provides a sustainable development model for future airport construction.

Faced with challenges such as high product performance requirements, tight delivery deadlines, complex product structures, and diverse sizes, Longyan Energy's technology and production departments, together with their partner Sage Longyan, worked closely together to successfully complete delivery according to the scheduled delivery cycle, demonstrating Longyan Energy's strong technical strength and production and delivery capabilities in BIPV projects.

Wherever Light Reaches, There is the Future

Fuzhou Changle International Airport is another benchmark BIPV project for Longyan Energy in civil airport projects, following Hubei Ezhou SF Express Flower Lake Airport, once again proving the unique advantages and excellent performance of Longyan's cadmium telluride thin-film battery technology and photovoltaic building materials products in BIPV project applications. With the completion and commissioning of the T2 terminal, Fuzhou Changle International Airport will enter the "dual runways, dual terminals" era, with an estimated annual passenger throughput of 36 million, cargo and mail throughput of 450,000 tons, and aircraft take-offs and landings of 277,000, becoming a large international hub airport and a gateway hub airport for the Maritime Silk Road, injecting new impetus into Fujian Province's expansion of high-level opening-up and the promotion of high-quality economic and social development.

When the cadmium telluride photovoltaic glass of the T2 terminal shimmers under the sunlight, it is not only Fuzhou's aerial gateway connecting the world but also a declaration of China's green infrastructure going global. Longyan Energy reshapes architectural boundaries with the power of technology, making every inch of space a participant in the energy revolution and injecting sustainable development genes into the "Maritime Silk Road" hub. Here, architecture is not just about function but also carries the wisdom of human beings coexisting with nature; photovoltaics are not just about power generation but also shine with the belief of civilization's green journey. In the future, Longyan will continue to use its independently developed cadmium telluride technology as a pen to write the Chinese answer to the zero-carbon era on a broader urban skyline.
