Evaluation for the Light Transmission Property of Solar Glass

Article Preview

Abstract:

Transmittance is the key factor to the quality of solar glass. At present visible light transmittance (380-780 nm) and solar direct transmittance (300-2500 nm) were used to evaluate the light transmission property without considering the specificity of solar glass. In this work a new parameter of effective transmittance in the 380-1200 nm region which was consistent with the spectral response range of solar cells was proposed and calculated to evaluate the property. The value of effective transmittance lies between that of visible light transmittance and solar direct transmittance. Using effective transmittance instead could reflect the performance of solar glass on real applications properly.
