High Efficiency Concentrators

CSP, Concentrated Solar Power, is extremely promising for many reasons.

A two-axis tracking solar concentrator - one motor adjusts the tilt of the mirrors according to the elevation angle of the sun; the second motor rotates the entire array according to the azimuth angle. The individual mirrors are parabolic, focusing the sun onto the absorbers which are suspended above the mirror surfaces. The light is concentrated more than 1000 suns inside the absorber. Also, on a cost per watt basis, these solar collectors are the most economical and provide the greatest return on investment
