Howdy Jones, Interesting thought. Question? How do you reconcile the heat trapped in the parabolic collector with the thin film materials mechanical properties that portend fast degradation due to heat? Do you suppose the thin film could have both adsorbing as well as reflecting properties. The mathematics of a parabolic collector describes the reflected sun ray must eventually collect at the base of the parabola.. provided.. it reflects. Richard
