Another place where the issue comes into play is with a thermal storage
wall, where one wants maximun absorptance at the maximum rate to avoid
losing too much heat back out the glass. This is often achieved, however,
by some selecetive high absorptance coating or finish.

My understanding is that the principal reason to fuss with conductivity in a
mass wall is that, along with thickness, it is used to design in the time lag
between peak solar input and peak heat delivery to the space.
