For small windows, such as 1,4 meter x 0,8 meter or smaller, semi-dark solar reflective films are a great choice. They help to reduce solar heat by five to seven per cent without significantly darkening the room.
For maximum protection from heat, bright sun, glare, and UV radiation, dark and highly metallized solar window films are the most effective choice. These films can reduce heat by up to eight degrees.
The effectiveness of solar film is not solely based its Visible Light Transmission (VLT) values. Solar radiation is made up of three components, visible light, infrared (felt as heat) and the invisible ultraviolet rays. So, keeping the heat out is not as simple as blocking out visible light.
A recently released solar- mirror film is highly reflective and well suited for thermal and concentrated solar applications. The film uses silver as a reflective layer, protected by a polymer film and backed with adhesive. One advantage of reflective film, over traditional options, is that it allows design flexibility, according to manufacturer 3M.
3M's solar-mirror film is a silver metalized weatherable acrylic film designed for use in concentrating solar collectors. A recently released solar- mirror film is highly reflective and well suited for thermal and concentrated solar applications. The film uses silver as a reflective layer, protected by a polymer film and backed with adhesive.
The highly transparent, weather-resistant and anti-adhesive ETFE film is used for the front and rear surface protection of photovoltaic modules.The fluoropolymer film for photovoltaic modules provides a strong dirt-repellent effect to the outside, while on the inside it allows a strong connection to the encapsulation film.
