Solar reflection
With our reflecting surfaces, we offer various materials with a total solar reflectance ranging between 85% and 95%. Thanks to a weather-resistant nano-composite layer, MIRO-SUN® is an ideal material for outdoor applications. This is used in CPC reflectors (CPC= Compound Parabolic Concentrator), evacuated tube collectors and parabolic trough concentrators (CSP = Concentrated Solar Power). In addition, MIRO-SUN® can also be used as a concentrating reflector material for photovoltaic applications (CPV = Concentrated Photovoltaics).

The nine different products in the portfolio enables Alanod-Solar to offer an ideal component for every possible application.

Solar absorption
sunselect®, mirotherm® and mirosol® are the three selective absorber coating systems for solar collectors. These coating systems are continuously vaporised in a PVD procedure as part of the air-to-air process. This achieves 95% absorption and, at the same time, a low emission of not more than 5%.

All the absorbing products are used in a diverse range of solar-thermal collectors. Mostly copper or aluminium tubes are welded to the rear side of the absorbers to conduct heat, whereby laser welding has become established as the optimum technology for joining together both identical and contrasting metals. This method ensures that the joints achieve not only long-term mechanical stability but also excellent thermal conductivity.

Global player
Our top quality products are now sold, processed and installed by our partner companies on all five continents. We are the world’s first company to have reached the milestone of having sold more than 10 million square metres of absorber surface area.

Furthermore, we have an integrated and certified quality and environmental management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001: 2000 and 14001: 2005.
