I am trying to model a passive solar home with solar reflectors to redirect more sunlight into the house. I have built the solar collectors out of component blocks and now I need to change the reflectance.

I am assuming that all i need to do create a material with thermal absorbance = 0 , solar absorbance = 0 and visible absorbance = 0. Is there anything else I would need to do to create a mirror-like surface?

Thanks
