Dedicated to Continuous Innovation
Solar power generation continues to increase, with forecasts from BloombergNEF (BNEF) calling for global solar generation to make up 22% of the world’s electricity by 2050, up from about 2% today. BNEF has said solar and wind will account for almost 50% of the world’s power generation by midcentury, becoming more economically viable than natural …

It is rare for an innovation in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) to go from the lab to commercial in just 5 years. The biggest obstacle to advancing potential cost-cutting improvements in novel CSP technologies is getting them deployed in commercial projects. Risks are high when every CSP plant must be built at utility-scale and must …
The 12 associations that have made this commitment will be: Spanish Wind Energy Association (AEE Spain), APPA Renewable, Protermosolar and UNEF (Spain), ACERA (Chile), AEEREE (Ecuador), AMDEE and ASOLMEX (Mexico), AUDER (Uruguay), Cader (Argentina), SER Colombia and SPR (Peru). Within the framework of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change – or better known as …
Stellio heliostat: at the test facilities at PSA in Spain, DLR researchers Tim Schlichting and Marc Röger measured the Stellio optical efficiency using photogrammetry, deflectometry, modal analyses, deflectometry and beam characterization. IMAGE @CSPPlaza It is rare for an innovation in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) to go from the lab to commercial in just 5 years. …
