Solite-Patterned Glass

EMPOWERING SOLAR EFF IC IENCYPATTERNED GLASSAGC Solar has a long history as a key player in the solar glass business. As part of the world leader in glass production, it benefits from the latest glass technologies to make renewable energy a success. It offers glass solutions for photovoltaic modules, thermal collectors and concentrating solar mirrors. It aims for the highest production standards for increased performance and works through a worldwide network.SOLITE™ is an extra clear patterned glass formed with a diamond pattern on one face and a smooth pattern on the other face. This ensures the highest energy transmission over the whole solar spectrum.Combined with the excellent durability of glass, SOLITE™ is the product of choice for photovoltaic modules (crystalline and CIGS, where its pattern allows for an easy lamination) and for thermal collectors. Through its pattern, SOLITE™ also ensures non-blinding reflection and a better aesthetics to the solar modules.SOLITE™ conforms to EN572 and is delivered fully tempered as per EN12150. It can be supplied with AGC Solar Plus Anti Reflective Coating (SPARC).PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Type Extra clear patterned glassPattern Diamond / SmoothApplications Cover glass for photovoltaic modules (crystalline or CIGS) Cover glass for thermal collectorsSOLITE™EXTRA CLEAR PATTERNED GLASS FOR SOLAR APPLICATIONS Transmission curveMeasured on 3.2mm glass samplesTransmission (%)Wavelength (nm)7579838791950 500 1000 1500 2000 2500Clear FloatSoliteTMFOR MORE INFORMATIONWorldwide: sales@agc-solar.com Europe: sales.europe@eu.agc-solar.comNorth America: sales.northamerica@na.agc-solar.com Japan: sales.japan@jp.agc-solar.comChina: sales.china@jp.agc-solar.comAsia: sales.asia@jp.agc-solar.comIndia: ssheikh@aisglass.comAGC is commited to environmental stewardship through the use of recyclable materials and sustainable process in the manufacturing and distribution of our state-of-the-art, energy efficient flat glass products.In North America, the product performs to the appropriate ASTM standards.*The information contained in this datasheet is intended to assist you in designing with AGC materials.
