What is Solar Reflective Index ? The steady-state surface temperature (Ts) under the sun is strongly correlated to solar reflectivity and thermal emissivity of the surface. For equivalent conditions, the Ts of dark surfaces (with low solar reflectance) is higher than light-colored surfaces (with high solar reflectance); and surfaces with low thermal emissivity have higher …
