Some buildings are designed with reflective glass facades that are angled in such a way that they reflect sunlight onto rooftop solar panels. This not
Solar control glass is ideal for helping to maximize natural daylight while reflecting a high proportion of solar radiation away from the glass, contributing to keeping the indoor space

Solar control glass is a type of high-performance glazing that reduces the amount of solar heat entering a building. Filtering infrared radiation and reflecting excessive heat
Perfectly flat glass will reflect light and solar energy. Glass may deflect due to a variety of environmental factors (see section below) that may lead to the concentration of this reflection
Some buildings are designed with reflective glass facades that are angled in such a way that they reflect sunlight onto rooftop solar panels. This not only helps the solar panels produce more
In hot conditions or for building with high internal loads, solar control glass is used to minimise solar heat gain. It allows sunlight to pass through a
These glasses contain luminescent centers that absorb incident sunlight and re-emit it at longer wavelengths while guiding the

These glasses contain luminescent centers that absorb incident sunlight and re-emit it at longer wavelengths while guiding the emitted photons via total internal reflection
Solar Reflectance: Solar control glass typically has a higher solar reflectance than normal glass. This means that more of the sun''s

REFLECTASOL® is a reflective, solar control glass, carefully designed to meet two requirements of architects: heat resistance on the inside and great exterior appearance, for better living and
In hot conditions or for building with high internal loads, solar control glass is used to minimise solar heat gain. It allows sunlight to pass through a window or façade while radiating and
The top surface, known as the "first surface", will reflect some of the incident solar energy, due to the reflection coefficient caused by its index of refraction being higher than air.

The substrate is the mechanical layer which holds the mirror in shape. Glass may also be used as a protective layer to protect the other layers from abrasion and corrosion. Although glass is brittle, it is a good material for this purpose, because it is highly transparent (low optical losses), resistant to ultraviolet light (UV), fairly hard (abrasion resistant), chemically inert, and fairly easy to clean. It is composed of a float glass with high optical transmis
Solar Reflectance: Solar control glass typically has a higher solar reflectance than normal glass. This means that more of the sun''s energy is reflected away from the glass,
