Cover Story: A new solar coating with a Ag infrared reflector (IR) for application at 550 °C is proposed. In the past, ENEA developed solar coatings for applications at 550 °C based on W IR. The hemispherical emittance (εh) of these coatings was reduced by replacing W with Ag. The high diffusivity of Ag at 550 °C was addressed by foreseeing two stabilizing layers enclosing Ag. One W stabilizing layer was placed between the substrate and Ag, and a second stabilizing layer of AlN was placed between the Ag and solar absorber. The manufactured solar coating exhibited a solar absorptance (αS) of 95%, comparable to ENEA coatings for 550 °C incorporating W IR, whereas the estimated εh at 550 °C was 2% lower than the best ENEA coating with W IR for the same temperature. Accelerated aging tests revealed an undetectable αS degradation and an εh increase at 550 °C of 0.42% at the end of the 25-year lifetime. View this paper
