In hot conditions or for building with high internal loads, solar control glass is used to minimize solar heat gain. It allows sunlight to pass through a window while radiating and reflecting away a large amount of the sun's heat.

Good solar control performance with low-emissivity, reducing the need for heating and cooling the building. Medium light transmittance and low light reflectance for undistorted, natural views. Available in a range of colors (Clear and EverGreen).

Designed to improve conditions within buildings by reducing glare, solar radiation and heat transfer into the building, they also reduce UV radiation and offer improved privacy, when compared with clear glass.

Both glasses can be combined with Pilkington Energy Advantage™ to provide additional low-emissivity and improve passive solar heat gain. Bring out the elegance of gold. Pilkington Eclipse™ is ideal in applications demanding high reflective glass in a rich glamorous color.

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.

With its very high solar energy transmittance, our low iron glass Pilkington Optiwhite™ is the ideal cover plate for a range of solar technologies, including Thin Film Photovoltaics, Concentrated Solar Power Technology and Solar Thermal Collectors.

They are ideal for large scale solar farms, as well as Building Integrated Photovoltaic applications (BIPV). They benefit from generating consistent power, not only at elevated temperatures, but also on cloudy, overcast days and at low sun angles.

The natural colors make Pilkington Solar-E™ Plus ideal for new construction and replacement glass. The new coating also offers low solar heat gain, lower reflectivity, and glare control.

Pilkington Optiphon™ can be combined with other Pilkington products for a multi-functional noise-reduction monolithic glass or a multi-functional noise-reduction Insulating Glass Unit providing additional benefits, such as thermal insulation, solar control or self-cleaning.

It offers solar control characteristics and high selectivity. Pilkington EverGreen™ provides high light transmittance when compared to other tinted float glasses while still providing solar control, resulting in a high selective glass.
