Product overviewŞişecam SolarMax for Solar Thermal Collector is a glass designed for use in solar thermal collector modules. It protects internal components from environmental conditions and directly affects collector efficiency through its high heat transmittance coefficient. Produced with low iron content, SolarMax provides higher heat transmittance than normal iron-containing glass.
Pattern and productionProduced in Sandy and Prism patterned surfaces to reduce reflection and maximize the efficiency of solar thermal collectors. The product description indicates availability as low-iron patterned glass; the page also references low iron tempered patterned glass produced as standard in specific thicknesses. The product page shows a Tempered field value of "No" in the product attributes area.
Key product attributesLight Transmittance: -
U Value: -
Solar Factor: -
Tempered: No
Shading Coefficient: -
Quality- Heat transmittance coefficients tested and certified at the Solar Energy Technologies Institute (SPF: Solartechnik Prüfung Forschung) in Switzerland.
- Produced in compliance with standards: TS EN 572-5 (Glass in building - Basic soda lime silicate glass products - Part 5: Patterned glass) and EN 12150-1 (Glass in building - Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass).
Packaging TypesDifferent packaging options are available on demand to ensure safe shipment. Packaging choices include standard horizontal wooden packaging, vertical wooden packaging, end cap type wooden packaging, and metal pallet packaging as an alternative. Packaging design takes recyclability into account and intermediate cushioning material between glass plates (paper or powder options) is determined according to customer requirements.
NotesThe product page indicates standard thicknesses and pattern availability and states that low-iron tempered patterned glass used in solar thermal collectors is produced as standard in 3.2 mm and 4 mm thickness (Sandy and Prism patterns). The product page also displays a Tempered attribute set to "No" in the attributes area; both pieces of information are reported on the page.
