Solar Control
The energy emitted from the sun is referred to as solar energy or solar radiation. Solar control makes references to the ability of glass to control of reduce the sun’s direct heat energy on a window. Solar control also refers to the ability of a glass to reduce visible light and UV transmittance.

The following are the key values to measure solar control performance of the glass:

  • Solar Factor (SF);
  • Visible light transmittance;
  • UV transmission
