Vitro Architectural Glass Product Data Sheet

To maximize clarity and visible light transmittance, Solarban® 72 glass insulating glass units feature one lite with an advanced triple-silver coating engineered for use on a Starphire® or

Performance value terms

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

Glass Transmission

ASTM G 159 and ASTM G 173 only define tables of solar radiation, where G 173 is supposed to replace G 159. Solar Transmittance value are calculated as described in section Weighting

Solar Transmittance/Solar Reflectance

Measurements were conducted on four types of commercial plate glass to determine their respective visible transmittance, visible reflectance, solar

Measurement of Solar Transmittance through Plate

In this example, several types of glass were measured using a UV-3600 UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and their solar transmittance was calculated

IEC 62805-2

This part of IEC 62805 specifies methods for measuring the transmittance and reflectance of glass used in photovoltaic (PV) modules and provides instructions on how to

Solar Transmittance/Solar Reflectance Measurement

Measurements were conducted on four types of commercial plate glass to determine their respective visible transmittance, visible reflectance, solar transmittance, solar reflectance, and

Pilkington Optiwhite™ for Solar Applications

Pilkington Optiwhite™ is a range of ultra-clear float low iron glass, which maximises the solar energy transmittance and, therefore, the efficiency of

Glass in building — Determination of light transmittance, solar

This International Standard is applicable both to conventional glazing units and to absorbing or reflecting solar-control glazing, used as glazed apertures. The appropriate formulae for single,

Measurement of Solar Transmittance through Plate Glass

In this example, several types of glass were measured using a UV-3600 UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and their solar transmittance was calculated using solar transmittance

Why is Ultra-Clear Glass Chosen for Solar Photovoltaic Glass?

Compared to ordinary glass, the iron content of ultra-clear glass is typically below 0.015%, which allows its light transmittance to reach over 91.5%, significantly higher than the

Performance value terms

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.

IEC 62805-2:2017

IEC 62805-2:2017 specifies methods for measuring the transmittance and reflectance of glass used in photovoltaic (PV) modules and provides instructions on how to calculate the effective

Pilkington Optiwhite™ for Solar Applications

Pilkington Optiwhite™ is a range of ultra-clear float low iron glass, which maximises the solar energy transmittance and, therefore, the efficiency of the photovoltaic modules.
