NSG TEC™ for solar applications offers following benefits: High light transmittance, medium to high conductivity, low to high haze properties TCO glass to suit all thin film photovoltaics Coating properties are resistant to heat (i.e. unaffected by very high processing temperature)

NSG TEC™ Sodium Block is used for CIS/CIGS applications. It includes a sodium barrier layer, which offers manufacturers improved product stability and increased process throughput. Low iron NSG TEC™ Sodium Block is used as substrate for solar mirrors in concentrated solar power applications.

Our range of solar glass products includes NSG TEC™, Pilkington Optiwhite™, and Pilkington Sunplus™. Each of our solar glass solutions are optimised to suit specific technologies, making NSG the ideal provider of glass to solar energy technology manufacturers. Solar Glass and Solar Technologies

NSG TEC™ can be used with a number of thin film photovoltaic technologies, including amorphous silicon (a-Si), tandem (a-Si/μ-Si) – a combination of amorphous and microcrystalline silicon, cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium (gallium) diselenide (CIS, CIGS) and dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSC).

12 Nov 2020. NSG Group announced today the float furnace to produce TCO (transparent conductive oxide) coated glass for solar panels in Luckey, Ohio has started operation. Due to the pandemic, the inaugural furnace lighting ceremony was held virtually and streamed live over the company social media platforms.

NSG TEC™ for Solar Applications. NSG TEC™ is a group of products, including a comprehensive range of TCO glass, optimised to suit a variety of thin film photovoltaics, with different haze and conductivity levels.

There are around 260 float plants worldwide with a combined output of about 800,000 tons of glass a week. NSG Group operates 25 plants and has an interest in another ten. A float plant, which operates non-stop for between 11-15 years, makes around 6000 kilometers of glass a year in thicknesses of 0.4mm to 25mm and in widths up to 3 meters.

Pilkington Optiwhite™ - an extra clear low iron float glass, practically colourless and offering the highest level of light and solar energy transmittance, NSG TEC™ - a range of on-line transparent conductive oxide coated glasses with low-emissivity properties, and other products.
