Abstract: A method of fabricating glass or other transparent material second surface reflectors for solar energy concentrating systems, with attachment devices affixed to the back of the mirror. The attachment devices are used to attach the reflector to a supporting frame. The silver or other reflecting material that the forms the reflecting surface is removed in a small area so the attachment device can be affixed directly to the glass or other transparent material rather than to one or more layers of reflecting materials and protective coatings. The reflecting surface of a glass mirror is usually protected by one or more layers of protective coating. This results in one or more interfaces between the glass and the adhesive used to affix the attaching device. Each interface can present an area for inconsistent bonding. Removing the reflecting surface and protective coatings thus provides for a stronger bond than might be achieved by attaching the attachment device to the protective coatings.
