Guardian Industries Bets On Solar Panel Mirror Production

Date: 19 July 2010

Guardian Industries has made its money through glass, particularly building and automotive glass, over many years and done so quite successfully.

Now the Auburn Hills firm is placing its bet on solar technology and expects it will pay big dividends soon.

Over the last 4-5 years, Guardian has been developing and manufacturing mirrors used in high-powered solar panels, allowing solar energy to be concentrated and maximized.
