Despite the abundance of solar radiation, significant energy losses occur due to scattering, reflection, and thermal dissipation. Glass mitigates these losses by functioning as a protective layer, optical enhancer, and spectral converter within PV cells. . Solar control glass is a type of glass that is designed to minimize the amount of heat that enters a building through its windows while still allowing natural light to enter. . ted in residential and non-residential buildings. If successful, the EU's overall energy saving would be 390 million tonnes of oil equivalent essly cost hundreds of. . This chapter examines the fundamental role of glass materials in photovoltaic (PV) technologies, emphasizing their structural, optical, and spectral conversion properties that enhance solar energy conversion efficiency. While dual-glass offers advantages in harsh conditions and extended operational life, conventional panels often provide better value for standard residential installations. .
