Minimising thermal emittance implies that the device retains all the solar energy that it absorbs from the sun without releasing it in the form of heat, until it has been collected and delivered to where it is to be utilised. Selective solar absorbers have been fabricated before using different techniques, among them the sol gel technique, sputtering, painting and the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique.enSolar absorbersPulsed laser depositionKrF excimer laserSelective solar absorbersOpticsLaserPhysicsSolar energyChemical vapour deposition54th Annual Conference of the South African Institute of PhysicsConference PresentationYalisi, B., Katumba, G., Forbes, A., & Pillay, S.
