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.

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 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.

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.

It is also characterized by high solar heat gain, which means that as well as retaining heating warmth in a room, it allows high level of solar energy to enter, for warmer and brighter interiors, and reduced heating and lighting costs.

Pilkington Eclipse™ Gold and Pilkington Eclipse™ Sunset Gold are medium solar control performance on-line coated glasses in rich gold colors. They provide a glamorous appearance unlike any other product of its kind.

Pilkington High Performance Tint is a range of uncoated body-tinted solar control glasses, with low light reflection and high energy absorption. The glasses come in several distinctive colors: Pilkington Arctic Blue™

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.
