Photovoltaics NSG Group manufacture glass for photovoltaic panels and solar collectors but do not manufacture the finished items for direct use in buildings. A comprehensive range of TCO (transparent conductive oxide) glass is used in the manufacture of thin plate panels used in the direct conversion of solar radiation to electricity.

For BIPV applications, thin film photovoltaics can offer excellent aesthetics. Thin film photovoltaic modules also benefit from a relatively small drop in power output under partial shadowing when compared with crystalline silicon photovoltaics.This gives thin film photovoltaic modules greater design flexibility when integrated into the building envelope.

Solar Glass for Solar Panels The NSG Group offers a range of specialised glass and coated glass products used in all of the leading solar energy technologies, including thin film photovoltaics, crystalline silicon photovoltaics, concentrated solar power technology and solar thermal collectors.

Used in Thin Film Photovoltaics, NSG TEC™ is a range of coated glass designed and optimised for each of the main thin film photovoltaic technologies, including amorphous silicon (a-Si), tandem (a-Si/μ/Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium (gallium) diselenide (CIS, CIGS) and dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSC).

The Step-by-step Manufacturing of Float Glass Watch the magic of this science-based process begins to unfold, in a series of stages on a float line that may be nearly half a kilometre long.

Overview. Pilkington EverGreen™ and Pilkington Emerald Green™ establish new standards of quality, aesthetics and performance for green body-tinted glass. These products offer solar control characteristics and high selectivity, in two different shades of green. Pilkington EverGreen™ provides high light transmittance when compared to other tinted float glasses whilst still providing solar ...

Fire Protection. Provides passive protection from the effects of fire for up to 180 minutes allowing maximum use of natural light and enabling all areas of a building to be occupied.

Pilkington Texture Glass, a rolled patterned glass with one surface having a specific pattern or design impressed into the surface, offers a wide choice of attractive designs.

Overview Pilkington SuperGrey™ and Pilkington Dark Grey™ are low-reflective body-tinted glasses which offer dramatic, deep cool grey appearance, increasing visual privacy and dramatically reducing read-through from interior shading devices.. Pilkington SuperGrey™ combines stunning exterior aesthetics and unsurpassed interior glare control with the best solar control performance of any ...
