The invention relates to a solar reflective mirror which includes a parting film between solar reflecting sublayers to improve optics and stability of the solar mirror. The coating stack of the solar reflector mirror is encapsulated to increase the useable life of the solar mirror, and to eliminate the need for a permanent protection overcoat. Omission of the PPO film which is electrically non-conductive makes the coating stack electrically conductive eliminating the need for a two layer encapsulant when the encapsulant is e-coated. Another feature of the invention is applying the base coat of the encapsulant over the marginal edges of the PPO film leaving a center section without coverage and adding the top coating of the encapsulant over the base coat and the uncoated area. 本发明涉及一种太阳能反射镜，其包括在太阳能反射子层之间的分隔膜以改进太阳能镜的光学和稳定性。太阳能反射镜的涂层堆叠被包封以提高太阳能镜的可用寿命，并且消除对永久保护外涂层的需要。不导电的PPO膜的省去使得涂层堆叠导电，从而当包封物被电涂布时，消除两层包封物的需要。本发明的另一个特征是将包封物的基涂层施加到PPO膜的边际边缘之上，留下没有覆盖的中心部分，并且在基涂层和未涂覆区域之上添加包封物的顶涂层。
