Q: What is TSER?
A: Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER) is the percentage of the total solar energy that is rejected. TSER includes visible light, infrared radiation and ultraviolet energy. The higher the percentage, the higher the percentage of solar energy deflected. Most tinting shops use Infra Red Rejection (IRR) as a guide to the level of heat rejection. However, IRR only covers a fraction of TSER. Internationally, TSER is used as a guide as it is a more accurate way of measuring heat rejection.

TSER
V-Kool OEM 5 = 46%
SolarGard HP Charcoal 6 = 58%

My personal comparison of TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejected) data among brands. Do take it with a grain of salt.

Tint series that belong to same tier will provide comparable (but not exact) heat rejection performance.

Tint series that belong to higher tier provides higher performance but generally costs more.

Consider also the warranty length. 5-7 years warranty are pretty common now.

Sir red_one, I beg to differ on your claim that V-Kool OEM 05's TSER is 46%. I'm not in anyway connected with V-Kool but I'm one of their satisfied clients. The TSER of OEM 05 is 70% as shown in their Facebook photo:

You got the OEM 05's TSER mixed up with OEM 35's TSER, it's the latter that has a 46% TSER.
