FAQS 4

What are the factors affecting the choice of glass?

The main values in the choice of glass are thermal transmittance, light transmittance, and the solar factor. The solar factor g is the ratio between the solar energy that manages to pass through the glass entering the environment and the total solar energy that strikes the outer surface of the glazing.

Why is glass important for solar energy?

Despite the abundance of solar radiation , significant energy losses occur due to scattering, reflection, and thermal dissi-pation. Glass mitigates these losses by functioning as a protective layer, optical enhancer, and spectral converter within PV cells.

How does glass improve photon absorption & conversion?

Advances in glass compositions, including rare-earth doping and low-melting-point oxides, further optimize photon absorption and conversion processes. In addition, luminescent solar concentrators, down-shifting, downconversion, and upconversion mechanisms tailor the solar spectrum for improved compatibility with silicon-based solar cells.

What is solar factor G?

The solar factor g is the ratio between the solar energy that manages to pass through the glass entering the environment and the total solar energy that strikes the outer surface of the glazing. It is expressed as a percentage % and is useful for evaluating the energy performance of a glass element.
