Abstract
The solar absorber is equipped with an absorber body () that absorbs incident solar energy () and converts it to heat. The absorber body has a selective absorption layer () on a side () oriented toward the concentrator () and another selective absorption layer () on an opposite side () oriented away from the concentrator (). The selective absorption layers () have threshold wavelengths below which solar radiation is absorbed and above which a reradiation capacity of the absorber body is suppressed. The threshold wavelength of the selective absorption layer () on the side () of the absorber body that is oriented toward the concentrator is greater than the other threshold wavelength of the other selective absorption layer() on the opposite side () of the absorber body oriented away from the concentrator.
