As one of the world’s largest flat glass producers in terms of production capacity, Şişecam participated in Intersolar Europe 2022 with its advanced technology products. Şişecam attracted great attention from visitors with its products exhibited at the solar energy technology fair held in Munich from May 11 – 13, 2022. At the fair, Şişecam introduced its high-performance solar glass produced for use in solar panels and solar thermal collectors.
13.05.2022 – Şişecam attended Intersolar Europe 2022 held in Munich, Germany from May 11 – 13, 2022. Şişecam exhibited its glass for the solar energy industry in its specially designed booth at the fair and shared its advanced technology solutions with industry professionals. At the fair, Şişecam introduced its high-performance solar glass produced for use in solar panels and solar thermal collectors.
Şişecam Glass for Photovoltaics and Şişecam Glass for Solar Thermal Collector directly affect the efficiency of solar panels with their high light transmittance performance. In addition, the glass protects the internal parts of solar panels, which generate electricity from solar energy, against environmental conditions. Produced in the “Sandy” and “Prism” patterns, Şişecam Glass for Photovoltaics and Şişecam Glass for Solar Thermal Collector reduce the reflection on the glass surface with its patterned structure. As a result, the specially developed glass achieves maximum efficiency in the performance of solar panels and collectors with their high light transmittance and low reflection values. With the application of Anti-Reflective (AR) coating on glass surfaces, the reflection of light is minimized, while the light transmittance of glass is increased by approximately 2,5%, in this way increasing the performance and the efficiency of solar panels.
The fair was attended by the leading companies and representatives of the industry. Şişecam informed visitors about its anti-reflective coated glass developed for use in solar panels with low-iron frosted glass featuring high light transmittance that provides maximum efficiency in solar energy systems.
