SoliTek introduces a new generation of full-black solar modules with matte-textured front glass, engineered to drastically reduce glare and meet the most demanding visual and functional requirements. This new satin-glass technology achieves exceptionally low light reflection- just 4,000 cd/m² at a 10-degree angle, whereas the typical low-glare module reflects around 10,000 cd/m².
Such performance is made possible by using structured glass instead of conventional anti-reflective coatings or films. This is a critical distinction: coatings can degrade over time, but structured glass maintains its optical and mechanical properties for decades. While this approach slightly reduces module power by about 2.3%, bringing it to ~425 Wp, the gain in durability and performance stability far outweighs this minor efficiency trade-off - especially in sensitive environments like airports or architecturally integrated buildings.
The satin-glass modules are already attracting attention from sectors facing strict glare limitations. One high-profile example is Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, which recently paused early morning landings due to glare from nearby PV installations. Of the 230,000 panels installed, 78,000 must now be removed due to safety risks. SoliTek’s new technology offers a reliable, long-term solution to such challenges, delivering both energy and safety - without compromise.
This new product line includes bifacial framed (glass/glass), frameless, and roof-integrated Solrif versions- all featuring long-lasting aesthetics and ultra-low reflectivity. Ideal for airports, highways, building façades, noise barriers, and even Swiss residential rooftops, SoliTek’s satin-glass modules are a next step in truly sustainable solar design.
