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.

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.

Best solar control of any uncoated glass, providing the lowest shading coefficient of any float glass and a better shading coefficient than many reflective glasses; Unsurpassed light and glare control, improving visual privacy and reducing the need for blinds or shades

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.

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.

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.

Solar Control. Reduces solar heat gain and offers high levels of natural light to provide comfortable and pleasant environments in which to live and work.

The Important Advantages of Pilkington Thermal Control Low-E Glass Recognizing the inherent problems of soft coats – including handling problems, inconsistent aesthetics and, in many cases, extremely long lead times – the engineers at Pilkington developed a revolutionary kind of low-e:

The Pilkington Activ™ Range of products combines both self-cleaning and solar control properties, helping to keep the glass cleaner and clearer. Pilkington Activ™ Blue Pyrolytic on-line self-cleaning body-tinted solar control glass
