Spectrally Selective Coatings for Concentrated Solar Power Systems
University researchers have developed spectrally selective coatings (SSCs) with ultra-high optical performance and a highly scalable process to make them. The invention's SSCs exhibit the combined features of ultra-high solar absorptivity, low IR emissivity, low cost and high temperature durability. The SSC can be applied to the solar collector used in solar hot water panels, to the receiver of concentrated solar power systems for electricity generation and in tandem with a thermoelectric generator to capture heat from sunlight for conversion into electricity.
