Solar energy panels offer alternative solutions to a range of energy requirements, from small scale domestic applications to large scale solar power stations, from cloudy northern rooftops to hot sunny deserts. Solar glass is an integral and important element of these solar panels. Our range of solar glass products is designed and optimised to suit the requirements of various solar technologies with properties such as high solar energy transmittance, strength and durability, as well as ...

pilkington suncool™ one offers solar control properties with the added benefit of thermal insulation, thereby helping homeowners maintain a comfortable indoor temperature all year around, whilst still having design freedom & flexibility pilkington suncool™ one is the ideal solution where large expanses of glass are used and perfect for bi-folding …

The rate of radiant energy emitted per unit wavelength interval is called the spectral energy distribution function. As indicated in the diagram below only a narrow band between 380 nm and 780 nm of the solar spectrum received at the earth's surface is visible to the eye, whilst the radiation below 380 nm (ultraviolet) and between 780 nm and about 3000 nm (near infrared) and beyond is invisible.

1. Reduce the ambient temperature, as fading tends to occur more rapidly at higher temperatures – so solar control glass, which helps prevent heat gain in rooms, may help 2. Avoid local overheating from lamps 3. Use laminated glass, with as thick an interlayer as possible 4. Reduce exposure to UV light and the blue end of the visible spectrum 5.

Pilkington United Kingdom Ltd, part of the NSG Group, has invested more than £3 million in new technology to increase its capacity to manufacture Pilkington Planar™, and meet growing market demand for its internationally sold structural glazing system.

Solar Energy. NSG TEC ... From a glazing perspective, this could result in solar control glass being installed on a large glazed south-facing room, but low emissivity glass on a North-facing room with smaller windows. The requirements will also be affected by the presence or absence of cross-ventilation, i.e. openings on opposite elevations. ...
