Data is available indicating that tinted sheets absorb more solar energy over the entire spectrum. This energy is partially converted into heat which can be radiated inward, heating the area below the sheets. The Solar Control sheets transmit a much larger percentage of energy over the entire spectrum. Tinted sheets reflect much less energy. Sunlite Solar Control sheets transmit a uniform 20-25% of light energy over a wide portion of the energy spectrum.
