Concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) companies are constantly making gains in efficiency and a lower levelized cost
of energy, but continue to face questions of reliability and efficiency at scale remain. New technologies such as
highly efficient aluminum mirrors help CPV companies fulfill both of these demands by allowing for performance
and reliability gains, while also enabling high volume production for scaled deployment. In testing, metal mirrors
have shown to be good matches for concentrating applications while performing at the same level as glass mirrors
in accelerated weather tests. When combined with the inherent lighter weight and formability of aluminum, these
new mirrors provide CPV solutions with a compelling advantage in the field.
