  • Patent number: 9594191
    Abstract: A solar reflector plate maintains an excellent reflectance of a reflective layer and has excellent sand resistance and weather resistance. The solar reflector plate includes a substrate; a reflective layer provided onto the substrate; and a protective layer provided onto the reflective layer, wherein the protective layer contains silicon in an amount of 10% by mass to 60% by mass in terms of SiO2 and an organic substance, and has 1.5 to 3.2 oxygen atoms on average that form a chemical bond with silicon.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9234680
    Abstract: A solar light reflecting plate used for a light condensing and heat collecting device which includes a solar light reflecting plate that reflects and condenses solar light and a heat collecting tube that receives the solar light condensed by the solar light reflecting plate and is heated by the condensed solar light, wherein the solar light reflecting plate includes at least a rolled substrate, a surface roughness of a solar light reflecting surface that is an outermost surface and that reflects solar light is 0.02 ?m to 1.0 ?m in terms of arithmetic mean roughness Ra, and the solar light reflecting plate is disposed so that an angle between a rolling direction of the substrate and a longitudinal direction of the heat collecting tube is 80° to 100°.
