  • SOLAR THERMAL RECEIVERS WITH MULTI-SCALE LIGHT TRAPPING GEOMETRY AND FEATURES
    Publication number: 20210254861
    Abstract: Solar receivers including a plurality of multi-scale solar absorbing surfaces arranged such that light or heat reflected from or emitted from one or more of the plurality of solar absorbing surfaces impinges one or more other solar absorbing surfaces of the solar receiver. The disclosed receivers increase the amount of absorbed energy from a concentrated light source, such as a heliostat field, and reduce radiative and convective heat losses.
