Solar control
Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorptance. Absorptance – the proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the glass.
Glass & Solar Radiation
When solar radiation strikes glass, it is partly reflected, partly absorbed in the thickness of the glass and partly transmitted. The ratio of each of these 3 parts to the incident solar radiation
Glass Application in Solar Energy Technology
A standardized model is presented for evaluating the efficiency of spectral converters integrated into PV glass, systematically
Understanding Reflected Solar Energy of Glazing Systems in
The solar energy incident on a receiving surface is highly dependent on the orientation of that surface relative to the sun. As the angle between the sun and the receiving surface increases
Glass Application in Solar Energy Technology
A standardized model is presented for evaluating the efficiency of spectral converters integrated into PV glass, systematically assessing spectral absorption and
Directional anisotropy of diffuse solar irradiance
The solar transmittance of a semi-transparent glazing, g, is defined as the fraction of the incident (Gi) and trans- mited (G1) global hemispherical solar irradiances,
Sem título de diapositivo
To improve the energy efficiency of windows, more and more commercial architectural glass is being coated with films which allow solar radiation to pass through, but reduce heat transfer
SOLAR ABSORPTION IN THICK AND MULTILAYERED
This paper presents a more accurate method for calculating the distribution of absorbed solar radiation inside thick and multilayered glazings.

2.3. Radiation in Cover-Absorber Systems | EME 811: Solar
Many solar thermal energy conversion systems employ glass to reduce convective losses from the absorbing surface, increasing system efficiency. Glass is not perfectly transparent, with
Radiation Transmission through Glazing
In solar applications, the transmission of radiation is through a slab or film of material so there are two interfaces per cover to cause reflection losses. The absorption of
THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
When considering solar energy, we can look at the transmittance, reflectance and absorptance of glass, across the relevant regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
