typical increase in the absorption of the coatings, which is greatest at the UV end of the
spectrum and becomes less prevalent as we move to higher wavelengths.
is degradation in performance is particularly serious for solar cell cover glasses
(Haynes 1970, Russell and Jones 2003, Gusarov etal. 2007) and optical solar reectors
used in radiators. In the former case, there can be a signicant reduction in the con-
version eciencies of the cells and a resulting loss in power generation of the array. In
the latter, there is a loss in the eciency of the radiator resulting in excessive heating.
Degradation of ...
