DSM\'s anti-reflective coating boosts the transmission, output and durability of solar modules. How can our society get more from solar While the technology tends to produce none of the carbon, methane or particulate emissions that fossil fuels emit, to truly
In order for a solar cell to be as efficient as possible, the last thing it should be is reflective after all, light should be getting absorbed by it, not being bounced off. With that in
Reflectivity coeficient informs you on the amount of light is reflected by a material. What isn\'t reflected is lost energy. Reflectivity of materials varies with wavelength. In this case we are mainly looking for infrared and the following
Reflective roofing granules are processed to retain the same strength and overall robustness as traditional asphalt roofing granules. However, reflective roofing granules require different processing considerations. When purchasing a roofing system, many consumers

It is measured with a solar spectrum reflectometer on a scale of 0 (not reflective) to (100 percent reflective). Generally, materials that appear light-colored have high solar reflectance and those that appear dark-colored have low solar
Solar Reflective Index (SRI) is important to understand when selecting a highly reflective roof coating that will help lower energy cooling costs. The SRI is a calculation method using solar reflectance and thermal emittance values to determine the roof\'s overall
Materials What solar sails are constructed of The standard solar sails are comprised of a thin aluminum film called, aluminized kapton film. In 1998, American scientist Geoffrey Landis found that alumina for laser sails and carbon fiber for microwave lightsails
Solar-reflective roofing granules having deep-tone colors are formed by coating base mineral particles with a coating composition including an infrared-reflective pigment. Color is provided by colored infrared pigment, light-interference plaet pigment, or a metal
The launch ALTIRIS W400 pigment comes as interest in solar reflective solutions continues to grow across the plastics new legislation--designed to improve the solar reflectance construction materials and the overall energy efficiency and longevity
