Abstract: A solar collector includes a first wall and a second wall facing one another, which between them delimit a housing, the first wall being transparent and intended to face in the direction of the solar radiation incident upon the collector, and an absorption device for absorbing the energy derived from the solar radiation and positioned in the housing, the absorption device including at least one pipe through which a heat-transfer fluid flows. In addition, the collector includes at least one transparent spacer arranged between the first wall and the absorption device in the region of the pipe.

Abstract: A solar collector, includes a glass sheet provided with a fired metal frit; a metal frame or another glass sheet provided with a fired metal frit and a metal frame; a brazed seal between the metal frit or frits and the metal frame; an absorber and pipes in which a heat-transfer fluid circulates, the pipes being in contact with the absorber, and the absorber and the pipes being placed between the glass sheet and the metal frame or between the two glass sheets.

Abstract: A glass substrate includes a first side and a second opposite side, and provided, on its second side, with an electrode which is formed by at least one electrically conductive film, the substrate having, over all of its second side, and through a thickness e extending toward the interior of the substrate in the direction of the first side, a refractive index variation, of the glass, obtained by an ion-exchange treatment, the refractive index at the surface being greater than that of the glass located beyond the thickness e.

Abstract: This flat mineral glass comprises a first free surface and a second free surface, and comprises groups of zones having a high refractive index (n2) and zones having a low refractive index (n1) which are formed in the thickness of the flat glass between the first and second free surfaces, over a depth of between 1 and 1000 ?m starting from the first free surface. These high-index zones and low-index zones alternate along a direction transverse to the thickness direction of the glass between the first and second free surfaces, the high-index zones flaring out from the first free surface toward the second free surface, and the envelope surfaces of the high-index zones making an angle (?) of at least 65° with respect to the first free surface.
