Onyx Solar: Leader in Building Integrated PV Solutions. Custom Photovoltaic Glass for energy generation that enhances energy efficiency and reduces costs.
Without a high degree of transparency and solar radiance — a measurement of how much solar energy can pass through the glass — durability doesn't matter all that much, as energy production will fall steeply. High-quality, clear solar panel glass can transmit nearly 100% of the light that hits it, which is ideal for PV panels.
Glass is highly transparent and lets up to 99.95% of all light pass through it. 2 This means the large majority of the sunlight hitting the face of your panels will be transmitted to your solar cells for energy production. Glass varies in degrees of transparency, but most types of clear glass are suitable for PV panels.
When manufacturing solar panels glass is seen as a key component for its durability, transparency, stable nature, variability and ability to further an eco-friendly agenda of recycling. Due to the nature of all of these added benefits, it is no wonder that many high rated solar panel manufacturers choose glass.

Glass is a durable, highly transparent material making it an obvious choice for solar energy applications. Our extra clear solar glass offers superior solar energy transmittance and is stable under solar radiation. It also survives harsh environmental conditions and protects the sensitive components of solar modules from water and humidity ingress.
