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 additional functionalities like transparent conductive oxide ...

Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorptance. These are defined as follows: Reflectance – the proportion of solar radiation reflected back into the atmosphere; Direct transmittance – the proportion of solar radiation transmitted directly through the glass; Absorptance – the proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the glass.

Photovoltaic (PV) glazing is playing a key part in this, and there has been rapid development in the technology recently. While energy-generating windows have been available for around five years, technical limitations have stopped them delivering on the promise of energy-generating windows, until recently.

Overview Pilkington Sunplus™ BIPV provides renewable power generating architectural glass solutions for building facades, windows, roof glazing, etc. with a high degree of transparency or full spandrel PV elements, combining efficiency and design. BIPV stands for Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and refers to a building component which has been enhanced to perform as a renewable ...

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, is manufacturing two more of its solar control products in the UK to shorten lead times for customers, as demand for specialist glazing grows. The company has started producing Pilkington Suncool ™ 60/31 from its St Helens manufacturing base to serve UK demand for solar control glazing.

Recent changes to Part L of the building regulations in England come into effect from June, and will be a significant step towards achieving the Government’s Future Homes Standard, which aims to ensure that all new homes built from 2025 will produce 75-80% less carbon than those delivered under current regulations.

17 Oct 2021. An increase in demand for specialist glazing signals how the building design industry is responding to the climate crisis, according to new research from Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group.

Pilkington Suncool™ One 60/40 is an off-line coated mid-range solar control product that complements our high performance Pilkington Suncool™ Range. With a thermal insulation U-value of only 1.0 W/m 2 K, Pilkington Suncool™ One 60/40 helps to retain heat during the cooler months, so a comfortable indoor temperature is maintained all year round.
