Glass Application in Solar Energy Technology
Despite the abundance of solar radiation, significant energy losses occur due to scattering, reflection, and thermal dissipation. Glass mitigates these losses by functioning as a
WINDOWS 101: EPISODE FIVE FACT SHEET Optical
6 SOLAR TRANSMITTANCE (Tsol) is a number that represents the fraction of sunlight transmitted – and a way to represent the spectral curve as a single number.
Insulation glass
The light transmittance of a glazing product describes the percentage share of solar radiation in the range of visible light that is let through from the outside to the inside.

Solar control
In hot conditions or for building with high internal loads, solar control glass is used to minimise solar heat gain. It allows sunlight to pass through a window or façade while radiating and
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
Impact of Different Types of Dust on Solar Glass Transmittance
The transmittance of conventional uncoated solar glass at a vertical incidence of light is approximately 91%. The front reflects around 4%, around 4% on the back, and 1%
Impact of Different Types of Dust on Solar Glass
The transmittance of conventional uncoated solar glass at a vertical incidence of light is approximately 91%. The front reflects around
GLASS FOR FAÇADE
In complementarity to solar control glass in double or triple glazing, Low-E glass significantly reduce heat loss to the exterior, saving the energy need for internal heating.
Characterisation of soiling on glass surfaces and their impact on
Soil from sixty low-iron glass coupons was collected at various tilt angles over a study period of 12 months to capture monthly, seasonal and annual variations. The coupons

Key Glass Performance Measures
Visible light transmittance (VLT) is a percentage of the visible portion of the solar energy spectrum coming through the glass. It is expressed as a figure between 0 (no light) and

The contamination on the glass cover can absorb and reflect a certain part of the sunlight irradiation, which can decrease the intensity of the light coming in through the glass
