Solar selective reflector materials: Another option for enhancing …
Using solar selective reflector (SSR) materials with low solar absorptivity and high thermal emissivity for the cavity wall design is one efficient way to improve the receiver efficiency.
Diffuse reflectors for improving light management in solar cells: a ...
Pigment based diffuse reflectors (DRs) have several advantages over metal reflectors such as good stability, high reflectivity, and low parasitic absorption. As such, DRs have the potential to be applied on high efficiency silicon solar cells and further increase the power conversion efficiency.
Diffuse Reflector
Schematic of a normal flat-plate collector with diffuse reflectors. The term "diffuse reflector" signifies a material which is not a specular mirror. It is important not to form an image of the sun on the absorber which could create uneven radiation distribution and …
High‐efficiency solar energy conversion using infrared focusing …
Summary. In this article, using solar radiation in infrared (IR) wavelengths, a new technique is investigated to increase the efficiency of conventional solar cells. The experiments on indium tin oxide (ITO), fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), and antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) films showed that the impurity content and the substrate temperatures ...
Optimizing reflector orientation for a solar panel at various latitudes
In this paper the results of theoretical calculations and experimental tests are presented on the use of different types of flat reflective surfaces to increase the collection of solar energy by flat collectors. Specular, diffuse, and combination specular/diffuse reflective surfaces are …
Surface albedo and reflectance: Review of definitions, angular …
This study defines albedo and reflectance in the context of solar applications. It examines the main sources of surface albedo data that can be used to help solar irradiance modeling efforts, such as undertaken by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) over the Americas, for instance, per the National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB).
Diffuse Solar Micro‐Concentrators Using Dielectric Total Internal ...
Solar technology candidates for building-integrated photovoltaics and mobile power applications suffer from difficulty in fabricating large-area, defect-free solar cells, high materials costs, and small angular acceptance for incoming radiation. Solar concentrators collecting non-normal-incidence radiation and diffuse light while retaining high ...
SolarPACES Reflectance Guidelines
develop a new guideline to properly measure reflectance in the solar field of concentrating solar thermal plants. This topic has already been addressed by researchers by several approaches [12][13], and is the main focus of the new
