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 & Solar Energy. Glass is an integral and important element of photovoltaic solar panels. To increase efficiency, low-iron glass, which is more expensive, but clearer than ordinary glass, is increasingly specified. Anti-reflective coatings can also increase the amount of usable solar energy.

Pilkington Optiwhite™ is a range of ultra-clear float low iron glass, which maximises the solar energy transmittance and, therefore, the efficiency of the photovoltaic modules.

A fully transparent, energy-generating window featuring UE Power™, Ubiquitous Energy' s transparent photovoltaic technology was recently installed at the NSG facility in Northwood, Ohio. This building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology transforms an average window into a solar cell that generates electricity ...

Solar control has traditionally been measured by the Shading Coefficient (SC). In recent years, however, a more accurate measurement system has been developed. Called the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), it compares the total energy which passes through a glass or glass combination with the amount of solar energy shining on the glass.
