The invention concerns transparent glass or synthetic material panes, which both create good light-capturing properties through linear structural elements enabling the glass to be thermally treated without warping and to be toughened. The invention is characterized in that said result is achieved by forming globally at the surface of the substrate groups (2) of parallel elements (1) whereof the orientation in the longitudinal extension of the elements is staggered from one group to the next. Moreover, said elements can be provided with a curvature superimposed to their longitudinal extension, thereby enabling a non-oriented reflected image with low screening effect to be obtained. Said panes are preferably used as covering of photovoltaic components designed to use solar energy, but they may also be used for decorative purposes in the building sector (glazed doors, cabinet glass panes). La invencion se refiere a placas transparentes de vidrio o de material sintetico, ambas de las cuales crean buenas propiedades de captura de la luz a traves de los elementos estructurales lineales que permiten que el vidrio sea tratado termicamente sin deformarse , y que sea endurecido. La invencion se caracteriza en que este resultado se logra formando globalmente en la superficie del substrato grupos (2) de elementos paralelos (1) en los cuales la orientacion en la extension longitudinal de los elementos esta colocada al tresbolillo de un grupo al siguiente. Ademas, estos elementos pueden proporcionarse con una curvatura sobrepuesta a su extension longitudinal, permitiendo con ello que se obtenga una imagen reflejada no orientada con bajo efecto de rastreo. Estos vidrios se usan preferiblemente como cubierta de componentes fotovoltaicos disenados para usar la energia solar, pero tambien pueden usarse con propositos decorativos en el sector de la construccion (puertas vidriadas, placas de vidrio para gabinetes).
