Abstract

In all types of solar collectors without exception, there is a protective cover between the sun rays and the active area (thermal or photovoltaic, flat or concentrating collector). For the materials most often employed the refractive index has a value around 1.5 leading to about 4% loss by reflection for each air-cover interface, giving a total loss of about 8% of the incident energy.
