Corrosion on silvered-glass solar reflectors exposed to accelerated aging tests with polluting gases: A microscopic study

[Display omitted] •SEM, EDS and FIB are employed to study corrosion in Ag-glass solar reflectors.•Polluting gases (SO2, H2S and NOx) have a great influence on reflector degradation.•For all gas atmospheres, the Cu-layer is the critical component. It is corroded first and protects silver.•Corrosion p...
