Abstract

To provide a heat-absorbing glass plate which satisfies both low solar transmittance and high visible light transmittance, presents a green color as transmitted light and contains a small number of coloring components. The heat-absorbing glass plate of the present invention has a solar transmittance of at most 42% calculated as 4 mm thickness, has a visible light transmittance (by illuminant A, 2° visual field) of at least 70% calculated as 4 mm thickness, and provides a transmitted light having a dominant wavelength of from 492 to 520 nm, and it is made of soda lime silica glass having substantially the following composition, as represented by mass % based on oxides. SiO 2 : 65 to 75%, Al 2 O 3 : more than 3% and at most 6%, MgO: at least 0% and less than 2%, CaO: 7 to 10%, total iron as calculated as Fe 2 O 3 : 0.45 to 0.65%, and TiO 2 : 0.2 to 0.8%, and contains substantially no member selected from the group consisting of CoO, Cr 2 O 3 , V 2 O 5 and MnO, wherein the proportion of the mass of divalent FeO in the mass of total iron which is the amount of total iron as calculated as Fe 2 O 3 , is more than 42% and at most 60%.
