What is Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER)?

Total Solar Energy Rejected or better known as TSER, is the percentage that is used to determine the rejected total solar energy.


The referred solar energy consists of visible light, ultraviolet energy, and infrared radiation.


With that said, the TSER percentage is much more accurate than Infrared Rejection (IRR) percentages which only makes up a third of the TSER.

There are many brands out there that states the importance of the IRR percentage rather than the TSER percentage when showing the rejection properties of the car window tint.


This is a usual situation among window tint brands which misuse the IRR percentage to confuse customers.


There are also instances where customers think that the IRR and TSER percentages can be compared too!


The higher the percentage of the TSER, the higher the percentage of solar energy rejected.


However, that does not mean that a car window tint with higher TSER percentages is the best performing one because it might just mean that it has a lower VLT and high in reflectivity.


That is why you must decide on how much visible light do you want your car window tint to block as this will help you in selecting and comparing the package you prefer.


For countries like Malaysia, TSER (UV 3% + VLT 44% + IRR 53%). 


Another thing to take note is that it is not true that a darker tint for your car windows will make the interior of your car cooler.


A cheap dark tint cannot reject as much heat as a car tint with an overall stronger TSER. Of course, the type of tint you choose for your car windows affect the performance as well.


Sputtered films will definitely give you a better result and higher performance than a ceramic-based film which absorbs heat energy and not reflect it away instead.


To get an automotive tint for your car windows that can give you and your passengers the best protection, the TSER percentage is the best measurement tool to determine which type of car window tint you will be installing.


It is important to choose a higher TSER tint which lowers the temperature in the car as it has the properties to reduce the rate of solar energy entering through.


All in all, make sure you get your facts and information right about the TSER percentages that is stated in the car tint packages.


After all, this is an investment for the long term and you would want to make sure it is worth the price you pay.
