Monolithic Glass Standards and Sizes
The solar heat gain includes both the solar energy directly transmitted through the glass, plus the solar energy absorbed by the glass and subsequently convected and thermally radiated inward.
If your project requires for a glass with a more specific buildup, please: What key parameters define the optical properties of photovoltaic glass? The key optical parameters are the Visible Light Transmission (VLT) and the Solar Factor (g-value). The VLT indicates the amount of light passing through the glazing.
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.
Laboratory measured to the ISO 140-3 standard. Monolithic, unlaminated clear glass tested. Laboratory measured to the ASTM E90-09 standard. Other configurations are available through special order. * Insulating glass unit constructed of two lites of equal glass thickness and 1/2" (12.7 mm) airspace.
