Why are sloar panels panted Matt black?

We can break the two words "matt black" downMatt- Matt is dissimilar to a shiny surface. This means that whereas a shiny surface is smooth and flat a matt surface is full of cavities (tiny holes or dips, like a cavity of a tooth). When a radiation ray hits the solar panel it is absorbed but partly reflected. If a solar panel is matt a ray which hit a cavity can be absorbed, but any part that is reflected hits another point in the cavity and can then be absorbed, this may happen several times until the radiation that hasn't been absorbed is reflected out of the cavity. Overall the matt surface allows parts of the ray that have not been reflected to hit another point and be partly absorbed again.Black- Solar panels are painted matt black because radiation (infrared) is absorbed better by a dark surface i.e. black than a light coloured surface.Therefore a solar panel being "matt black" enables maximum absorption and in effect higher amounts of energy can be taken from the suns heat and turned into electricity than that which could be with a light and shiny surface. This results in minimising the need for fossil fuels.
