Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite material suitable for the conversion of solar radiation to heat. The composite material comprises a carrier (1) which is provided on at least one side thereof with a multilayer system comprising at least five layers, an adhesion layer (2), a protection layer (3), a first absorber layer (4), a second absorber layer and an antireflection and protection layer (6). The present invention further relates to a selective solar radiation absorbent wall panel or roof panel, a solar facade or solar roof comprising the solar radiation absorbent wall panel or roof panel, and to a method for heating and/or ventilating buildings.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a layer system, comprising a metallic substrate (1) having the following layers applied on a side (A) thereof from the inside to the outside in the specified order: 4) a layer composed of a material selected from among substoichiometric oxides and oxynitrides of titanium and zirconium or from among metals, selected from among titanium, zirconium, molybdenum, platinum, and chromium or an alloy using one of these metals or of at least two of these metals, 5a) a layer composed of a nickel alloy having chromium, aluminum, vanadium, molybdenum, cobalt, iron, titanium, and/or copper as an alloying partner, or composed of a metal selected from among copper, aluminum, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, titanium, platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, and alloys using one of these metals, or of at least two of these metals, or composed of iron, steel or stainless steel, provided the layer may only consist of aluminum if the reflector layer 6) is formed of aluminum and that, in this case,
