Solar Energy Concentrators

Exposure Testing Device provides ultra-accelerated weathering.

Using cool mirror technology, Ultra-Accelerated EMMA provides 10-12 yr of equivalent radiation exposure as would be received in South Florida in single year. Device tracks sun while concentrating reflected sunlight on test specimens in 6 x 30 in. target area. Mirror has very high reflectance in UV and near visible wavelength while attenuating reflectance in longer wavelength visible and IR...
