Spanish term or phrase: planaridad

Debido a la planaridad del reflector, la carga del viento se reduce sustancialmente de manera que el ancho del reflector para un tubo absorbedor puede ser tres veces el ancho del cilindro- parabólico.
This is the whole phase and my problem is specifically with PLANARIDAD. It has to do with solar thermal stations and obviously is form, shape etc due to wind factor.

planar...

Explanation:
You would probably have to turn the sentence and use "planar" as an adjective pertaining to the reflector, instead of as a noun by itself... Good luck!
