  • Contact cleaning of polymer film solar reflectors 
    Sansom, Christopher L.; Fernández-García, Aránzazu; Sutter, Florian; Almond, Heather; King, Helen (AIP Publishing, 2016-01-31)
    This paper describes the accelerated ageing of polymer film reflecting surfaces under the conditions to be found during contact cleaning of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) collectors in the presence of dust and sand ...
  • Equipment and methods for measuring reflectance of concentrating solar reflector materials 
    Fernandez-Garcia, Aranzazu; Sutter, Florian; Martínez-Arcos, Lucía; Sansom, Christopher L.; Wolfertstetter, Fabian; Delord, Christine (Elsevier, 2017-04-06)
    The proper optical characterization of solar reflector materials is a challenging task. Although several commercial instruments exist to measure reflectance, they have been developed for other applications and often do not ...
  • Reflectometer comparison for assessment of back-silvered glass solar mirrors 
    Sansom, Christopher L.; Fernández-García, Aránzazu; King, Peter; Sutter, Florian; Garcia Segura, Alejandro (Elsevier, 2017-06-29)
    This paper compares the two most common reflectometers used to assess the specular reflectance of back-silvered glass mirrors for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) applications, namely the Device and Services (D&S) 15R-USB ...
  • A review of conventional and innovative-sustainable methods for cleaning reflectors in concentrating solar power plants 
    Bouaddi, Sahar; Fernández-García, Aránzazu; Sansom, Christopher L.; Sarasua, Jon Ander; Wolfertstetter, Fabian; Bouzekri, Hicham; Sutter, Florian; Azpitarte, Itiziar (MDPI, 2019-10-29)
    The severe soiling of reflectors deployed in arid and semi arid locations decreases their reflectance and drives down the yield of the concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. To alleviate this issue, various sets of methods ...
  • Soiling and cleaning of polymer film solar reflectors 
    Sansom, Christopher L.; Fernández-García, Aránzazu; Sutter, Florian; Almond, Heather; King, Peter; Martínez-Arcos, Lucía (MDPI, 2016-11-29)
    This paper describes the accelerated ageing of commercially available silvered polymer film by contact cleaning using brushes and water in the presence of soiling created by dust and sand particles. These conditions represent ...
