AbstractSolar mirrors are exposed, during their operation in Concentrated Solar Power plants –CSP-, to climatic stress factors that cause their degradation and therefore a decrease in the global efficiency of the plant. Sandstorms are among parameters that cause a decrease of mirrors optical performances by generating surface erosion. The intensity and the gravity of this erosion phenomenon is function of climatic, geological parameters and mirrors surface nature.To evaluate the effect of these parameters on the optical performance degradation, two approaches were adopted, namely the natural aging tests in two different sites in Morocco, and the aging tests in controlled environment in a sandblasting chamber. The objectives are, by monitori...
