  • Abstract
    Measurements of emittance were made on samples of solar cell coverglasses incorporating new coatings both on C-7940 fused silica and on CMX ceria doped microsheet. Samples of a conventional, MgF2 coating on the same two types of coverglass substrate were included in the measurements as controls. Measurements were made by the calorimetric method of total hemispherical emittance within a cooled chamber as well as by the more common infrared reflectance method. Emittance enhancements from 1 to 4% were measured for the new coatings.
