Glass has indeed come a long way from an ordinary product that provides unobscured view and controlled light and heat transmittance. Today, glazing products can contribute to a building’s energy and environmental solutions. Solite is a low-iron glass formed with speckled pattern on one surface and provides specific degrees of obscurity while retaining excellent transmission values. A product of the most advanced roll-out process in glass manufacturing, Solite is a type of glass recommended for most active applications where obscurity of the absorber plate in solar panels is an important factor.
