Pilkington Optiwhite™ for Solar Applications
Extra clear low-iron float glass with very high solar transmittance for improved solar energy conversion, consistent performance and durability.
Solar Energy Direct Transmittance (Te, %) is the percentage of incident solar energy in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 2500 nm that is directly transmitted by the glass. Solar Direct Reflectance Outdoors/Indoors (Re out/in, %) is the percentage of incident solar energy directly reflected by the glass.
Visible Light Transmittance (Tv, %) is the percentage of incident light in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm that is transmitted by the glass. Visible Light Outdoors/Indoors (Re out/in, %) is the percentage of incident solar energy directly reflected by the glass.
Ultraviolet (UV) Transmittance (Tuv, %) is the percentage of the incident UV component of the solar radiation in the wavelength range of 280 nm to 380 nm that is transmitted by the glass.
For brilliantly transparent façades, curtainwalls and commercial windows, no glazing product comes close to Starphire Ultra-Clear® glass. To optimize performance and clarity, specify Solarban® Starphire® glass for a 2 to 4 percent improvement in visible light transmittance (VLT) compared to Solarban® clear glass.
Extra clear low-iron float glass with very high solar transmittance for improved solar energy conversion, consistent performance and durability.
This results in low-iron, high-transparency, and low-reflection for our glass, making it perfect for solar panels. Our solar panel glass comes with a specially designed pyramid pattern pressed onto the
High-transmittance ultra-clear glass panels with AR coating. Designed for superior light throughput and high impact resistance to enhance PV durability.
Vision Glazings For brilliantly transparent façades, curtainwalls and commercial windows, no glazing product comes close to Starphire Ultra-Clear® glass. To optimize performance and clarity,

The type of solar glass directly influences the amount of solar radiation that is being transmitted. To ensure high solar energy transmittance,glass with low iron oxide is typically used in solar panel
JIS R3106 "Testing Method on Transmittance,Reflectance and Emittance of Flat Glasses and Evaluation of Solar Heat Gain Coefficient" JIS R3106 stipulates methods for measuring and
Solar Factor or Total Solar Energy Transmittance or g-value (g%) is the total solar radiation transmitted by the glass. Shading Coefficient (sc) is Solar Factor divided by 0.87.
Solar Ultra Clear Glass ''UL TRANS''Solar ultra clear glass is a kind of low iron glass with transmittance higher than 91%. It adopted special process and proprietary formula, speciallyapplied in solar
