DOE, the WGA, state RPS mandates, and feed-in tariffs have successfully jump-started growth in CSP technologies that would require 7 to 10 million square meters of reflector and more than 600,000 HCEs over the next 5 years. Commercial glass mirrors, Alanod, and ReflecTech may meet the 10-yr lifetime goals based on accelerated exposure testing. Predicting an outdoor lifetime based on accelerated exposure testing is risky because AET failure mechanisms must replicate those observed by OET. None of the solar reflectors available have been in test long enough to demonstrate the 10-year or more aggressive 30year lifetime goal, outdoors in real-time Emittance excellent & absorptance of modeled coatings is very good but further improvements are expected. However, trade-off exists between emittance and absorptance. Key issue is making the coating and prototype development underway. Patent being pursued
