The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Dartmouth College to design, fabricate, and test solar selective absorbers that can be spray-coated or dip-coated onto receiver tubes for condensed solar power applications. The technology developed as part of this project would be demonstrated via a pilot-scale receiver tube system, tested at high temperatures. The project would be completed over a single Budget Period.
