The highly reflecting vega energy specular surfaces are a key component of concentrating solar systems.
They concentrate the solar radiation precisely to achieve extreme energy densities. 

By using vega energy mirrors with their outstanding reflecting properties the performance can be increased significantly in concentrating parabolic systems (CSP) for the generation of solar thermal electricity, or process heat for industrial applications, air conditioning or sea water desalination. 
Performance improvements can also be reached by using vega energy mirrors in combinations with flat plate or vacuum tube solar thermal collectors and in combination with PV arrays.

vega energy is "made in Germany".
In Bernburg (Saxony-Anhalt), Almeco installed one of the most modern PVD coating systems in the world for roll-to-roll manufacturing of highly reflective aluminium surfaces.

Solar thermal collectors use the power of the sun to provide heat for space heating and hot water -- for free, reliably, and without an environmental impact.
The heart of flat-plate and evacuated-tube collectors is the absorber.
It takes up the energy in sunlight and converts it into heat. The more efficient the absorber, the greater the collector's output.

With its highly selective blue TiNOX energy absorbers, Almeco sets industry standards.
These products absorb 95% of incident sunlight.
At the same time, they only lose some 4% of heat radiation, so that around 90% of the solar energy can be used as heat. 

In this way, manufacturers of flat-plate and evacuated-tube collectors can ensure the greatest quality and maximum yield for their customers. Almeco applies its highly selective absorber layers both to aluminum and copper substrates in a high-tech coating process.
Collector manufacturers are then able to offer a wide range of high-quality products with TiNOX energy.
No other company in the world has as much experience in the production of highly selective absorbers; after all, TiNOX invented this technology in the mid-1990s and has continued to further develop it since. 

All TiNOX energy products are made in Germany on modern production lines in Munich and Bernburg (Saxony-Anhalt). Almeco offers a 10-year guarantee for its TiNOX energy products. A number of renowned testing institutes have confirmed the high quality of TiNOX energy absorber's with their findings.
One part of these inspections was the "task X" test, which simulates the effect of years of temperature fluctuations and exposure to the environment on the absorber's selected layers.
Absorbers that pass this test will still provide 95% of their original output even after 25 years.

TiNOX energy has the Task X certificate from the following institutes:

Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, Freiburg (ISE)
Institute of Solar Technology, Rapperswill College (SPF)

Almeco GmbH fulfills the quality standards required for compliance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2000; Environmental Management StandardISO 14001 and Occupational Health and Safety management standard OHSAS 18001.
