FAQS 4

What are the characteristics of glass for solar applications?

For solar applications the main attributes of glass are transmission, mechanical strength and specific weight. Transmission factors measure the ratio of energy of the transmitted to the incoming light for a specific glass and glass width. Ratio of the total energy from an AM1-5 source over whole solar spectrum from 300 - 2,500nm wavelength.

How much solar energy does commercial glass produce?

Base-line commercial glass has a solar transmission of 83.7%. I.e. 16.3% of the sun's energy do not even get to the PV material. The energy loss is due - in equal parts - to reflection on the surface and absorption within the glass due to iron impurities. The density of glass is about 2,500 kg/m 3 or 2.5kg/m 2 per 1mm width.

What causes glare in glass?

Glare is caused by light reflection. A structured surface causes the incoming light rays to reflect many times and offers them chances of being refracted into the glass, resulting in a reduction in reflection losses and in spreading out of the reflected beam.

Why do solar panels need float glass?

Ultra-bright glass needed with high solar transmission to ensure high efficiencies in the overall pv module. Mechanical strength to withstand snow and wind. Self-cleaning characteristics would help to reduce maintenance costs. Low iron float glass, solar transmission > 90%.
