Pilkington Sunplus™ BIPV combines the proven reliability and efficiency of crystalline silicon technology with - aesthetics, design, quality, performance and our expertise in glass. A range of products to support the transition to sustainable buildings with smart glass facades and to reach zero energy buildings.

Solar Control Glass The increased use of glass in architecture today makes it imperative to consider the comfort of a building's occupants. Solar control glass can be an attractive feature of a building whilst at the same time minimising, or even eliminating the need for an air conditioning system, reducing running costs of the building and saving energy.

The Pilkington Suncool™ Range comprises our highest performing off-line coated, solar control and low-emissivity glass products. Coating technology has revolutionised the design of modern buildings enabling extensive use of glazing which combines functionality with stunning aesthetics.

We receive a lot of enquiries about the appearance of external condensation particularly in the Spring and Autumn. External condensation is a natural phenomenon and predictable event caused by the outer pane of the glazing being colder than the glass that it replaced.

For that project, Pilkington also supplied its Pilkington Sunplus™ BIPV glass, which features photovoltaic power-generation technology, turning the windows into an energy source for the building. Achieving a net energy generation performance involves a combination of reduced energy demand and renewable energy supply.
