SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ROOFTOP SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION

摘要

A system and method of producing electrical energy using an underlying reflective surface having emissive properties and one or more bifacial solar panels arranged such that a first face of the solar panel receives primarily direct sunlight and a second face of the solar panel receives primarily indirect sunlight reflected from the underlying reflective surface.

主权项

1. A reflective roof coating system to increase performance of solar arrays, the roof coating system comprising:
a substrate positioned on a structure, the substrate and structure supporting a solar array, and the substrate having an outer surface; one or more reflective top coat layers applied to at least a portion of the substrate outer surface; the top layer further comprising an acrylic, oil, alkyd or silicone polymer, and infused with a reflective metal oxide; wherein the one or more reflective top coat layers have a Solar Reflective Index of at least 75 and an emissivity index of at least 75.
