Abstract
Materials used in solar heating systems co-operate to absorb energy from the sun and convert it to thermal energy. These materials must perform their intended function both when first installed and after extended use. The environment in which these materials are exposed can cause degradation in their performance. Numerous problems with materials in solar energy systems have demonstrated the need for data to assess their performance and durability. This report describes a database of solar materials that provides basic material data for designers, manufacturers and researchers in solar energy. Within the framework of selecting materials for a higher benefit in solar energy applications the database provides performance data, outdoor exposure data based on figures from manufacturers and researchers. Four material categories were distinguished: metals, plastics, absorber coatings, and glazing materials, transparent insulation materials. The database is updated continously. 5 refs, 9 tabs
