Metal foils for direct application of absorber coatings on solar collectors

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6082887
The basic materials and processing associated with the production of coated metal foils for solar collector absorber surfaces are discussed. Also covered are details of heavier metal strips for direct fabrication of solar collectors. Techniques including bonding methods and the use of adhesives are surveyed. Commercial solar foil manufacturers are covered, along with the new research efforts in this area. In conclusion, advantages and disadvantages are outlined, with specific recommendations.
