The spectral transmittances of two different glass types have been
measured in a spectrophotometer. Both glass types have been
investigated with and without a Sunarc anti reflection surface (AR
surface). The transmittance data for the AR treated samples have
been used as input to the AR treatment process in order to improve
the solar transmittance for the glass samples. A standard flat
plate solar collector has been tested in the indoor solar
simulator. The purpose of the tests was to evaluate the
improvement in collector performance that can be expected by
replacing the standard cover with a similar cover supplied with a
Sunarc antireflection surface (AR-cover).
