Solar arrays are the primary energy source of the satellite. In this paper, a metamaterial absorber for solar arrays with simultaneous high optical transparency and broadband microwave absorption is presented. By tailoring the reflection response of meta-atoms, 85% absorption performance from 6.8GHz to 18GHz is obtained. In the meantime, by employing transparent substrates, including indium tin oxide (ITO) film and anti-reflection glass, a maximum of 87% light transmittance is achieved. The absorptivity of the proposed metamaterial absorber is simulated and measured experimentally. Light transmittance and the effect of transparent metamaterial absorber on the conversion efficiency of the solar array have also been measured. These results fully demonstrate the reliability of our design for solar arrays, which also meet the requirements of structural strength, atomic oxygen erosion resistance, weight limitation, etc.
