Reflection

Each of the three MIRO-SUN® products is highly reflective and each is tailored to the individual needs of different solar and daylighting applications.

MIRO-SUN®  is weatherproof with a nano-ceramic- top coating to make it exterior-capable while retaining its high solar reflectivity. MIRO-SUN® is in use for CPC reflector mirrors, ( compound-parabolic-concentrators.) MIRO® 4400 is also used for CPC systems when the system is protected from the exterior environment. MIRO-SUN® is additionally used as mirrors in solar-thermal-collector-systems as a concentrator for heat-tubes. Its lightness allows simple cost-effective fixing systems to be used connecting the ALANOD MIRO® mirrors to the supporting framework of the collector.

Both MIRO-SUN® and MIRO® 4400 are used in daylighting systems. MIRO-SUN® PV is used for photovoltaic collectors. Here a specially tailored MIRO® optical coating has its maximum reflectivity at higher wavelengths than the photopic-curve maximum of natural daylight. MIRO-SUN® PV matches the needs of photovoltaic silicon for best reflectivity at 750 to 950 nm - allowing MIRO® mirror concentrators to multiply the output of each photovoltaic cell..



Absorption

Three ALANOD sunselect® and mirotherm® Absorptive products.

ALANOD sunselect® is a selective absorptive coating applied to copper strip by physical vapor deposition.
It has an infrared reflecting layer and metal-oxide absorption layers ensuring highest solar absorption.
ALANOD mirotherm® consists of a three layer absorptive system applied to aluminum by physical-vapor-deposition. This mirotherm® solar absorber surface thus created has the highest absorption and low thermal emmission - this time on a cost effective aluminum surface !
mirosol® is also applied to aluminum. This surface offers an economic advantage and has slightly modified optical values. It is suitable for climates that have more than 200 days sunshine per year.
