multi-layer dielectric coating which has a high reflectance coefficient in the infrared portion of the solar spectrum

Notes

NOTE The infrared reflector is used to reflect light that is not usefully converted to electrical energy by the solar cell thus reducing the operating temperature and increasing the conversion efficiency of the SCA.
