Abstract

The results obtained from measurements of the spectral optical characteristics of monolithic sheet and honeycomb polycarbonate, and from calculations of the integral transmission coefficient for transparent coatings of solar collectors are presented. The effect of solar radiation incidence angle on the transmission capacity of these coatings is evaluated. Data from a comparison between the integral power performance characteristics of conventional and plastic solar collectors are presented together with the results of preliminary research activities on applying selective absorbing coatings on polymeric materials.
