The Pilkington Solar-E™ Plus tint is perfect for any new commercial building project or renovation. This new range of tints includes Grey, Arctic Blue, and Blue-Green. Good solar control performance with low-emissivity, reducing the need for heating and cooling the building.

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.

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.

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.

In domestic windows, Pilkington Optiwhite™ maximises passive solar gain to reduce the need for heating during cold sunny days. Designers are finding that Pilkington Optiwhite™ is an ideal solution for applications where glass is used as a design feature, such as glass furniture.

To understand how revolutionary the Sun Management System really is, you need to know a little bit about energy and heat as it applies to glass.

Pilkington Energy Advantage™ is a pyrolitically on-line coated low-emissivity glass. It offers substantial improvement on thermal insulation when compared to clear float glass.

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.

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