Get more out of it - SCHOTT Solar for large-scale application
Concentrated Solar Power plants with parabolic trough technology convert sunlight into heat, which is used to drive steam turbines that in turn produce electricity. The receiver which absorbs the concentrated sunlight is one of the main components of parabolic trough plants. SCHOTT Solar sees itself as the world’s leading company offering such receivers and is hence a main driver of the large-scale production of electricity in Concentrated Solar Power plants.
