SolaReflex AA Mirror Surface
Flat and bendable 95.5% Solar Reflector Panels

Ideal for concentrating solar thermal and PV, flat heliostat reflectors, reflecting radiant heat over 1200 degrees F,artificial & sky lighting enhancement, plant grow lights, solar cooking, classroom,scientific, solar day lighting and photographic uses

SolaReflex AA Mirror Surface 2’x4’ reflector panels come flat and are easy to bend to any angle such as this new type of SolaReflex Day lighting Panel for sending bright sunlight indoors through windows or skylights.

We’ve recently upgraded our former flat ABS and polycarbonate plastic substrate SolaReflex panels with a more durable, specially coated polished anodized aluminum substrate panel that’s more weather resistant and more spectrally reflective that most other light reflectors made. Specially designed for us, they are called “AA” panels because of the bendable anodized aluminum substrate, and super hard invisible front and backside top coat that increases outdoor durability in the wettest, driest, coldest and hottest environments.

The high quality mirror surface of our AA panels will send a wide beam of reflected sunlight over 100 feet away, through windows or skylights deep into building interiors.

Our SolaReflex AA reflectors were recently installed at the Richmond, Virginia Science center for a permanent outdoor public solar heating demonstration that allows visitors to orient three connected flat AA panels in a heliostat configuration to reflect sunlight on to our SolaReflex 2500SA extreme temperature dish parabolic to show the true heating power of sunlight. Next time you’re in Virginia, stop by for a visit and an amazing solar demo. A photo our experimental 4 panel AA heliostat is at the bottom of this page. You can also see our BISFA (building Integrated Solar Forced air heaters) mounted in a nearby display generating lots of free hot air.

We can custom cut them in smaller equal sizes by request, at a slightly higher cost per square foot. They can be used in nearly any type of reflective solar energy or lighting projects like with grow lights for plants, and for numerous radiant heat reflectors uses up to 1200 degrees F because they are also resistant to high radiant heat temperatures—with no damage or surface change.

They can be also used as secondary concentrated light and radiant heat reflectors in special applications, such as behind floor radiators to reflect nearly all the heat back into the room and away from the nearby wall or floor with minimal heat loss through the walls. And they can also be used to re-direct heat created by engines, most flames, or fireplaces as long as the flames don’t coat the surface with soot.

SolaReflex AA flat panels are low cost solar and lighting reflectors that are comparable or better than the most expensive glass reflectors that cost many times more but can’t be bent by the user for concentrating solar energy. For parabolic solar trough builders, the 2×4’ size is convenient for low cost shipping and installation on site since they are unbreakable and lightweight. Build the reflector as large as is required, then secure multiple panels to the smooth frame surface with waterproof contact cement or attach them on the edges with rivets or screws. As a result, crating and shipping costs are much lower than shipping glass or metal reflectors because of the smaller size. And because they are very resistant to wind vibration when they are bent and mounted into a parabolic shaped frame, you’ll save money on having to make expensive heavy duty support frames.

Solar thermal designers, educators and solar demonstrators can discover many practical and interactive classroom uses for these lightweight panels, such as creating a flat multi-mirror concentrating reflector array called a heliostat that can duplicate a section of a parabolic and focus flat sunlight reflections to a single point.

You can direct the reflection to a single large object and reach temps over 250 degrees F, or to our 24” parabolic reflectors to nearly quadruple the incoming sun energy into four close hot spots for extreme temps in a larger area. SolaReflex AA reflector panels can easily be cut and attached to flat, rigid and smooth substrates of wood or metal to form single or a faceted reflector.

We recorded a 228 degree F temperature on a shaded dark wooden fence 30 feet away from four, 1×1 AA panels focused on the same spot. Add more panels to increase the temperature, and have students participate by holding and pointing each panel. The power of the sun can now be in their hands as they work as a team. They can also be used for classroom lighting, solar cooking or other heating projects.

Superior as still and motion picture reflectors
Motion picture and still photographers are amazed at how extremely bright and versatile they are for indoor light enhancement and outdoors as well. They can also be used to for background lighting effects when the panel is arched or twisted.

These are the brightest and most durable flat and bendable photo and day lighting reflectors made. Our tests have shown reflection levels up to 4-6 times brighter than the well known flexible cloth reflectors in bright sunlight.

SolaReflex AA 2’x 4’ lighting and radiant heat reflective panels cost $165, plus shipping. Up to 6 panels can be shipped for the same flat rate shipping fee. Discount prices are available for bulk purchases, educational and demo uses. Overseas shipping can be as much as 3-5 times the default USA shipping prices, depending on the country, so please request an estimate. These panels are available to order in any quantities from this web page using the PayPal order links, and we also accept U.S. money orders through the mail. Discounted prices are available for quantities over 25 panels. Processing time is normally 1-2 weeks for smaller orders, and because we occasionally have high volume orders that reduces our stock it’s good to confirm the estimated shipping time for your order.
