Reflector materials for concentrating solar thermal (CST) technologies must preserve high
quality properties (in terms of solar specular reflectance) over the complete lifetime of the …

This paper reports a study of the influence of outdoor natural aging on paint coatings applied
to the back of three commercial solar glass mirrors (A1, C2, and D2) under two different …

All solar thermal power systems have solar energy collectors with two main mechanisms:
mirrors (reflectors)(collect and focus solar irradiation) and receivers which have heat-transfer …

Corrosion is among the most observed phenomena that threaten the profitability of
concentrated solar thermal power plants and constitutes a real risk factor for metallic …

Roofing iron sheets are prone to rapid corrosion when exposed to harsh environmental
conditions leading to loss of mechanical strength and collapse of structures that results into …
