Summary
Preliminary solar absorption tests have been made on copper plates with various carbon coatings, and comparisons were made with known high-solar-absorbing coatings. It was demonstrated that certain carbon coatings exhibited higher absorptivity at shorter wavelengths and lower emissivity at longer wavelengths than known commercial coatings. Comparison tests have been conducted on two commercial solar collectors, one coated with a commercial black velvet paint and the other with one of the promising carbon coatings. Evaluation of the data indicates comparable or slightly higher results for the carbon-coated collector, with the potential of a significant cost savings.
