| Summary | Solar Energy Research Institute and Corning Glass Works worked together to develop a new, thin, flat glass, 7809, for an advanced solar energy reflector. SERI sponsored a pilot-scale manufacturing experiment at CGW to test the melting properties of 7809 glass and to test the forming of thin sheets of this glass by the "fusion" process. Glass manufactured in this experiment was distributed to 17 participants in a program developed by SERI to evaluate the new glass in concentrating collector applications. A multilaboratory effort was organized by SERI to measure the physical properties of the glass. |
