Abstract
New concepts me presented for solar mirrors: 1) Integration of aluminum fir st and second surface mirror; 2) Composite aluminum first surface mirror wi th double layer and 3) Combination of integrated and composite miners. Thes e concepts allow the mirrors to have longer life in spite of the corrosion phenomena. The total solar specular reflectance of these mirrors is 0.85-0. 86 before and after ageing tests for first surface films and 0.73 for secon d surface films.
