Solar Transmittance/Solar Reflectance Measurement

Solar transmittance (τe) and solar reflectance (ρe) refer to the ratio of the radiant flux of solar energy vertically incident on a glass surface to the transmitted radiant flux or reflected radiant

2.3. Radiation in Cover-Absorber Systems | EME 811: Solar

Many solar thermal energy conversion systems employ glass to reduce convective losses from the absorbing surface, increasing system efficiency. Glass is not perfectly transparent, with

Solar Factor: What It Is and How to Calculate It

The solar factor, also known as the solar energy gain coefficient or total energy transmission, is a value that measures the amount of solar energy that can pass through a

Spectral transmission of solar radiation by plastic and glass

In this paper we analyse the spectral transmission of solar radiation of widely used materials using the transmittance parameter. The measurements were performed on clear
