Technical FAQs 4

What causes glare in glass?

Glare is caused by light reflection. A structured surface causes the incoming light rays to reflect many times and offers them chances of being refracted into the glass, resulting in a reduction in reflection losses and in spreading out of the reflected beam.

Do textured glass surfaces reduce reflections and glare intensity?

Textured surfaces can reduce reflections and glare intensity. In this work, three textured glass surfaces are described and simulated numerically over a wide range of AOIs. The anti-reflection effect and light trapping effect are provided to analyze the transmission gain across a wide range of AOIs.

What is a planar glass cover?

Planar glass cover creates optical reflection loss and glare, which is harmful to energy efficiency and effective operation of PV modules, especially at larger angles of incidence (AOIs). Textured surfaces can reduce reflections and glare intensity.

How does a structured surface affect anti-glare?

A structured surface causes the incoming light rays to reflect many times and offers them chances of being refracted into the glass, resulting in a reduction in reflection losses and in spreading out of the reflected beam. So, we propose the reflection times of light rays as an evaluation parameter for anti-glare.
