What G-value should a Photovoltaic Glass have?

Photovoltaic glass can be customized to achieve a solar factor between 6% and 41%. A low g-value is desirable to prevent overheating, especially in warm climates, as it prevents the interior temperature from rising too high due to the greenhouse effect.

What is solar glass 0787?

Consistently stable transmission from UV-A into NIR range. Absorbs the majority of harmful UV-B and UV-C radiation. Solar Glass 0787 acts as a barrier layer, preventing damage from several types of high-energy particle radiation. High transmittance in VIS and NIR ranges, even after long exposure to different types of radiation.

Why should you choose Onyx Solar Photovoltaic Glass?

The multifunctional properties of photovoltaic glass surpass those of conventional glass. Onyx Solar photovoltaic glass can be customized to optimize its performance under different climatic conditions. The solar factor, also known as “g-value” or SHGC, is key to achieve thermal comfort in any building.

What is a solar cell cover glass?

Our Solar Cell Cover Glasses offer a range of technical advantages when used for space or terrestrial applications such as photovoltaic systems and optical solar reflectors. Transmittance across the spectrum from UV-A to near-infrared is excellent, while low-wavelength UV radiation is effectively blocked.

How is solar cell cover glass made?

SCHOTT’s decades of experience and expertise in glass manufacturing allows Solar Cell Cover Glass to be produced in different thicknesses directly drawn from the melting tank. This includes ultra-thin and flexible glass available down to UTG thicknesses below 70 µm as cut-to-size substrates.

Is Schott® Solar glass 0787 certified?
