Abstract
Collectors used in concentrating solar thermal (CST) technology include large mirrors or reflecting surfaces that reflect the incoming radiation onto a focus, where the solar receiver is placed. The collectors' efficiency strongly depends on the reflector material. As a consequence, research institutes, mirror manufacturers, and CST plant developers are ...
