PPG Introduces SOLARPHIRE AR Glass for the Solar Market
Apr 30th, 2009 | By Editor | Category: Industry NewsPPG Industries has introduced Solarphire AR (anti-reflective) glass, a new product engineered to maximize solar energy transmission to solar-collecting photovoltaic cells. Solarphire AR glass is formulated with a proprietary anti-reflective coating that facilitates the efficient conversion of solar light into energy. In 3.2-millimeter thicknesses, Solarphire AR glass yields a solar-weighted transmittance of more than 93 percent. The company says this makes it one of the industry’s most transmissive glass products.
The Faculty hd PPG says it has a history of innovation in the development of stacked, thin-film coatings for glass. The company’s thin-film coating capability is now being directed toward the production of solar energy.
