The UV radiation generates color-centers in the glass leading to a reduced transmittance. The solarization behavior of optical glass can be investigated by irradiation with a xenon or mercury lamp, or with UV lasers. Glasses with low UV transmittance – e.g. with a high lead content (F and SF types) – normally have small solarization effects.
Electromagnetic radiation influences the transmittance of a glass depending on glass type and the wavelength of radiation. The influence of visible and UV radiation (less than 380 nm wavelength) on glass is called solarization. The UV radiation generates color-centers in the glass leading to a reduced transmittance.

Advances in glass compositions, including rare-earth doping and low-melting-point oxides, further optimize photon absorption and conversion processes. In addition, luminescent solar concentrators, down-shifting, downconversion, and upconversion mechanisms tailor the solar spectrum for improved compatibility with silicon-based solar cells.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
