What is Solar Coefficient?

Solar Coefficient is a measure of how much heat is absorbed by a fabric. It is expressed as a percentage and ranges from 0 to 1. A higher solar coefficient means that the fabric absorbs more heat, while a lower solar coefficient means that it reflects more heat. When it comes to curtains, a lower solar coefficient is desirable, as it helps to keep your home cooler in the summer.
