ReflecTech® Mirror Film is a highly reflective, glass-free, polymer-based film for concentrating sunlight in solar energy arrays.
ReflecTech® Mirror Film is used primarily to reflect sunlight onto the heat collection receivers for Concentrating Solar Power (“CSP”) collector systems such as parabolic troughs, parabolic dishes, and central receiver heliostats. ReflecTech® Mirror Film delivers the performance of traditional glass surfaced mirrors at a fraction of the cost and weight.
ReflecTech® Mirror Film also has applications for concentrating photovoltaic systems, and other emerging CSP technologies such as linear Fresnel reflectors. All of these solar applications require the use of reflectors that have high reflectivity across the solar spectrum, are durable for many years in outdoor environments, and are low in cost.
ReflecTech® Mirror Film was developed in partnership with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) In Golden, CO. All technology rights for solar applications are owned by ReflecTech, Inc.
