  One source for solar glazing is:
   Solar Components Corporation
   121 Valley Stree
   Manchester, NH  03101-6211
   (603) 668-8186

  I bought some "Sunlite HP" (R) from them and it seems pretty good so far.
  I havn't had it long enough to be really sure, but no complaints yet.
  It costs on the order of $1.50 per square foot. and is pretty tough.
  They claim 86% Solar Energy Transmittance.  I'm sure they would be
  happy to send you a catalog.

  I have no connection with Solar Components Corp other than as a customer.
