Guardian Industries in Auburn Hills, Mich., has added to its solar glass product portfolio by introducing EcoGuard Pattern Glass, a new low-iron pattern glass designed to maximize solar energy transmission and enhance photovoltaic module performance. EcoGuard Pattern glass can be used in a variety of applications, including photovoltaic energy systems, solar thermal collectors, greenhouses and other applications requiring high solar transmission and light control.

Guardian's EcoGuard Pattern glass offers advantages in manufacturing and performance due to the product's pattern uniformity and solar transmission consistency. The glass also is IEC-validated and tested and certified by the SPF Solartec Renewableshnic Institute. The company currently is producing matte/matte and matte/prismatic pattern glasses, and is conducting research to further increase solar transmission by optimizing the textured pattern.

"EcoGuard Pattern glass reflects the latest in Guardian's solar glass technology backed by years of dedicated R&D," says Scott Thomsen, chief technical officer and vice president of Guardian's Science and Technology Center. "In addition to meeting the technical aspects of our sustainable energy initiatives, our solar products also are designed to optimize our customers' investments."
