Solar Energy systems convert sun energy to hot water or electrical power.

Toughened clear float or patterned glass or low iron patterned glasses are used in solar thermal collectors and photovoltaics.

Preferred glass type may vary according to the geographical area where the solar system is applied. Use of high performance low iron glasses is strongly recommended in order to increase the efficiency of these systems.

Glass is the outer layer in solar energy systems. Solar energy transmission and heat transmission values of glass directly effect the efficiency of solar energy systems.

Use of toughened glasses is required in solar energy systems in order to increase the resistance of glass to outdoor effects and thermal expansion.
