The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) to design, develop, fabricate, and test solar selective coatings for use in concentrated solar power (CSP) applications. Coatings would be developed so as to improve their absorptance and eliminate the need for anti-reflection (AR) coatings. Various coating materials would be developed and applied to substrates utilizing a tailored electrodeposition process. Project activities would be completed over two Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
