Spectrally selective solar absorbers (SSAs), harvesting sunlight into heat, are the key to the concentrated solar thermal systems. Current SSAs designs using photonic crystals, metamaterials, or cermets are either cost-inefficient or have limited applicability due to complicated nanofabrication methods and poor thermal stability at high temperatures. We present a scalable-manufactured blackbody cavity solar absorber design with nearly ideal properties. The unity solar absorptivity and nearly zero infrared emissivity allow for a stagnation temperature of 880C under 10 suns. The performance surpasses those state-of-the-art SSAs manufactured by nanofabrication methods. This design relies on traditional fabricating methods, such as machining, casting, and polishing. This makes it easy for large-scale industrial applications, and the blackbody cavity feature enables its fast-integration to existing concentrated solar thermal systems.
