Abstract
Eight solar mirror materials (three silvered-glass mirrors of different glass thicknesses, two anti-soiling coated glass mirrors, two enhanced aluminum reflectors and a silvered polymer film) have been measured over a broad range of incidence angles and the results have been weighted with the annual incidence angle frequency distribution. The obtained incidence angle-weighted reflectance is a suited parameter to compare the efficiency of solar mirror materials taking into account their use in a specific collector type and location.
