Solar energy utilization system
A solar energy utilization system includes a solar heat collector that is mounted to a glass surface of a building from the interior and that heats a heating medium by heat energy obtained by taking in solar energy, and an inner glass that is provided on the solar heat collector on the interior side of the building and that uses the heating medium from the solar heat collector on the interior side. A far-infrared cut-off process is applied to the inner glass so that both the absorptivity and emissivity and transmittance of far-infrared rays with a wavelength of at least 9 μm to 10 μm are 20% or less.
