Also known as Alkali glass or soda-lime glass. It is the most widely used type of fiberglass. Alkali glass accounts for approximately 90% of all manufactured glass. It is the most common type used to make glass containers such as jars and bottles for food and beverages, as well as window panes.
Presence of alkali on the glass gives the surface a cloudy or hazy appearance. Tiny droplets or fine crystals can form if there is high (above 55%) or low (below 40%) relative humidity. Glass may feel slippery or slimy. Washing will remove alkali from the surface and the glass will look great.
The morphology of alkaline and acidic-etched AIT glass is considerably different, resulting in alkaline-etched AIT glass having a slightly lesser haze than those with acidic etching. We have also studied the effect of an additional nanotexture on alkaline-etched AIT glass by a short dip in dilute 2% HF.
After optimizing a non-hazardous, feasible acidic and alkaline-etched AIT glass, we further showed the proof of concept that the textured AIT glass can be used as an active component of thin-film solar cells.
Our home solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment in Polish conditions. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control with remote management capabilities.
