The impact of sunlight is measured when light reaches a surface, a part of it crosses (transmits) the existing materials (either a glazed surface or a curtain), another part is reflected outwards (reflection) and the rest light is absorbed into the fabric Irradiated in the form of heat (absorption).

These parameters are measured with the following indices:
Ts = solar transfer
factor Rs = solar reflection
