HT cover glass from Scheuten Solar boasts innovative AR coating

(September 14, 2010) -- Scheuten Solar is introducing f | solarfloat HT (High Transmission) glass on the new P6-60 and P6-66 photovoltaic modules. This glass features a quartz-hard anti-reflection (AR) coating to improve power output and energy yield. f | solarfloat HT glass is made by f | glass (a joint venture by Scheuten and Interpane).

The cover glass of Scheuten Solar’s new modules comprises highly transparent, very-low-iron float glass for light transmission. PV modules fitted with f | solarfloat HT Glass will provide an up to 3% higher energy yield, and the coating adds resistance to acid and salt, with high mechanical strength and resistance to pollution from algae or calcium.
