SPARC is an anti-reflective coating especially developped for solar applications, and more particularly for photovoltaic applications.
SPARC is a single-side coating deposited on extra clear patterned glasses Solite and Solatex™ during the tempering process.
Being single-sided, SPARC minimizes the reflection at the glass/air interface without affecting the excellent adhesion between the glass and the interlayer used in laminating photovoltaic modules.
Being deposited online with the tempering process, it also ensures an optimal durability and an excellent aesthetics.
