Effects of Photo-Induced Optical Degradation of Typical Plastic Glazing Materials Upon Flat-Plate Solar Energy Collection Efficiency

Gary Jorgensen

    Research output: NRELTechnical Report

    Abstract

    Glazings for flat-plate solar collectors are generally either glass or plastic materials. Glass has proven to be an effective cover plate material, exhibiting extended service lifetime and high solar transmittance while remaining essentially opaque to thermal reradiation.
