Low iron NSG TEC™ Sodium Block is used as substrate for solar mirrors in concentrated solar power applications. The sodium barrier layer offers improved product shelf-life and durability and can offer solar mirror manufacturers improved stability.

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.

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. Solar glass is an integral and important element of these solar panels.

Pilkington Solar-E™ is a range of good solar control performance on-line coated glasses offering low solar heat coefficient gain, low reflectivity, reduced glare and low-emissivity. The products are available in a range of colours – Clear, EverGreen.

Glass is an integral and important element of solar modules, used to convert solar energy into electricity. In traditional photovoltaics, the solar cells may be encapsulated using toughened high-transmission glass, which protects the cells from the elements.

Solar control is a key issue in terms of energy saving: Our range of solar control products cover all architectural requirements, offering solutions for large and small glazed areas of all types of buildings. Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorbance.

Pilkington Solar-E™ Plus range offers wide range of benefits: 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.

Pilkington Energy Advantage™ offers following benefits: Improved energy efficiency compared to clear float glass, High solar heat gain decreasing further the need for heating and lighting,

Sunset Gold allows high natural daylight transmittance which enhances visual performance and lowers artificial lighting requirements. Both glasses can be combined with Energy Advantage™ to provide additional low-emissivity and improve passive solar heat gain. Bring out the elegance of gold.

Pilkington Optifloat™ Tinted solar control glass reduces unwanted heat gain, while admitting high natural daylight to enhance visual performance and lower artificial lighting needs. The glasses come in different colors: Green, Blue-Green, Bronze, and Grey.
