The substrate is the mechanical layer which holds the mirror in shape. Glass may also be used as a protective layer to protect the other layers from abrasion and corrosion. Although glass is brittle, it is a good material for this purpose, because it is highly transparent (low optical losses), resistant to ultraviolet light (UV), fairly hard (abrasion resistant), chemically inert, and fairly easy to clean. It is composed of a float glass with high optical transmis…

How To Make A DIY Solar Reflector Oven

A Note on Cooking with a Solar Reflector Oven. This is low and slow cooking. The boiling point of water is 212° F. and your solar oven won''t be able to achieve that temperature unless conditions are ideal. Even so, you should be able to cook meat, fish, or vegetables to the point that they are safe to eat, but it will take a while.
