Abstract: The invention relates to surface enhancements for composite mouldings made from polymeric materials and to the use thereof in solar systems. These solar systems may be solar reflectors for concentrating solar radiation, flexible photovoltaic composite films, or CPV (Concentrated Photovoltaics) lenses for concentrating solar radiation. The surface enhancement comprises a self-healing coating based on crosslinkable fluoropolymers, e.g. PFEVE (polyfluoroethylene alkylvinyl ethers). These coatings exhibit good optical properties, can be used in outdoor applications, more particularly in solar applications, over very long periods of time, exhibit self-cleaning properties, and in particular are self-healing in relation to mechanical damage—such as scratching.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a concentrator for focusing solar radiation, having surface structuring in the form of one or more Fresnel lenses on the lower side, and to the production thereof from polymeric materials by means of a specific extrusion process. The inventive concentrator can be employed in plants utilizable for photovoltaic or solar heating purposes, and has the required durability and performance in demanding climatic zones. The inventive concentrator enables particularly economic production and efficient concentration of solar radiation onto objects such as solar cells or absorber units, irrespective of the geometry thereof. The inventive concentrator has high longevity and—combined with this—high optical performance when employed in extreme and demanding climatic zones.

Abstract: The invention relates to a perforated film that has a thickness of less than 20 ?m, a tensile strength of 2 N/cm to 40 N/cm, and a perforated surface area of 10% to 90%.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a concentrator for concentrating solar radiation and to the production thereof from polymeric materials. The concentrator according to the invention can be used in photovoltaically or in particular in solar thermally usable systems. The concentrator according to the invention allows for the efficient concentration of solar radiation onto objects such as solar cells, independent of the geometry thereof. This relates, for example, to the surface of a solar cell as it is used in concentrating photovoltaics, and also an absorber tube as it is used in concentrating solar heating, for example in the scope of the parabolic trough technology.

Abstract: The invention relates to a film composite and the use thereof as a mirror film in solar reflectors in view of the sustainable guarantee of the required reflection of solar radiation (total solar reflection). In particular, the invention relates to the use of cover films on the basis of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in the film composite, having an especially high UV stability, and a high weathering stability. The invention further relates to a UV and weather protection package for said solar mirror film, as utilized in solar reflectors, for improving the optical life span, weathering stability, and for avoiding delamination. The invention further relates to a surface finish with regard to scratch resistance, anti-soil and chemical stability of the solar mirror film.
