Şişecam SolarMax (Şişecam Solar Glass for Photovoltaics)
Şişecam SolarMax is one of the most important components which protect the internal parts of solar panels that generate electricity from solar energy from environmental conditions and directly affect the efficiency of solar panels with its high light transmittance coefficient. Şişecam SolarMax glass has low iron oxide levels, which increases their light permeability compared to normal glass.
Produced in Sandy and Prism patterns, Şişecam SolarMax reduces the reflection on the glass surface due to their patterned structure, providing maximum efficiency in the performance of solar panels with high light transmittance and low reflection values. Light reflection can be minimized by applying a specialized Anti-Reflective (AR) coating on the glass surfaces. AR coating increases the light transmittance of glass by approximately 2%, improving solar panel performance and efficiency.
Low iron, tempered, AR-coated patterned glass used in solar panels is produced as standard in 2 mm, 3.2 mm and 4 mm thickness, with Sandy and Prism patterns. Please consult Şişecam for dimensions.
The light transmittance coefficients of Şişecam SolarMax are tested and certified at the Solar Energy Technologies Institute (SPF: Solartechnik Prüfung Forschung) in Switzerland.
Quality

- TS EN 572-5 Glass in building - Basic soda lime silicate glass products - Part 5: Patterned glass
- EN12150-1 - Glass in building - Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass
Product Type
Şişecam SolarMax are produced for front and back surfaces of the solar panels.
Packaging Types
Different packaging types can be used on demand to ensure that the glass for photovoltaics is shipped to customers under the most appropriate conditions.
In addition to the standard horizontal wooden packaging, vertical wooden packaging, and end cap type wooden packaging options, metal pallet packaging is also offered as an alternative.
Offering privileged service with on-demand packaging types and shipping methods in order to meet customer requirements at the highest level, Şişecam, also attaches importance to the recyclability of their packaging in order to maintain and spread environmental awareness.
The intermediate material to be used between the glass plates is determined in line with customer demands, and paper and powder packaging options are offered accordingly.
