However, with the discovery of semiconductor materials and thin-film deposition processes, glass has become a technology platform for advanced energy management and energy generation applications. This is due to its ability to provide mechanical strength, chemical durability, and high transmission in the solar spectrum.
The history of glass and coatings on glass as a technology platform for solar energy is captured in the timeline shown in Fig. 48.4. It begins with development of the float process for the high-volume manufacturing of low-cost, high-quality glass that became ubiquitous in the commercial and residential architecture of the 1960s.
The successful application of cost-effective technologies for harvesting of solar energy remains a challenge for research and industry. Glass is an essential element of the mirrors used in concentrated solar power (CSP) applications, where such mirrors reflect incident solar light and concentrate it onto a target.
We begin with a discussion of glass requirements, specifically composition, that enable increased solar energy transmission, which is critical for solar applications. Next we discuss anti-reflective surface treatments of glass for further enhancement of solar energy transmission, primarily for crystalline silicon photovoltaics.
