Most of todays reective surfaces are made of eitherglass or aluminium. Glass is heavy and has environmentalissues, aluminium needs a coating to be reective thatadds labor costs, is less reective, and needs to bend to t,which cause survival issues. Our solution is to use plasticsthat can be molded into an exact shape, coated with anamazingly reective coating and has already lived in the hot

sun for many years; all for much less than the price of anyother reective solution.

RefectancePatriot Solar Group offers three variations of mirrors forsolar applications:

UVR (UV Refecting)XX Offers good reectance from 335-100nm forapplications needing the UV portion

MPXX Multipurpose mirror with 375nm UV cutoff suitable formost applications

UVAXX UV-absorbing mirror with only 8% reectivity below400nm, 97% reectivity 400-1100nm

Patriot Solar Group solar mirrors achieve 97%reectivity across the most critical wavelengths400-1100nm

Low ScatteringLower quality mirrors scatter reected light, reducing

system performance. Our mirrors are comparable topolished glass in this respect.

Other Advantages

LightweightXX At typical 3mm thickness, solar mirror weighs 3.6 kg/m2. A typical 4mm glass mirror weighs 8.9 kg/m2, or 2.5 timesas much

WeatherableXX Patriot Solar Groups acrylic substrates have proven durable with over 15 years testing in full sun. Our mirror back-coating protection system has been eld proven with 15 years eld experience on the fenders of buses and trucks.
