  • Window Treatment Film

    I'm wondering about putting some UV blocking film on the glass of my homemade 12v panel. I also wonder about a film that has low reflection, yet still lets in all the light. Anyone ever tried this?

    If there was a magic coating, it would be on the factory panels. Often, the cells inside the panels have anti-reflection coatings on them, films and coatings do not stand up to the elements well.

      Its works great on my South facing windows, that aren't covered by awning in summer.
      Sure Mike is correct as far as pv goes.

        Right - I have used it on windows to reflect sunlight and it does great but as a light collector - don't think so.
