The proposed system combines a solar thermal plant based on parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) connected to water storage and a photovoltaic facility coupled to a sand-based high-temperature heat ...

triple-junction solar cells and a high-efficiency solar thermal system based on parabolic trough collectors. Scientists from the private research Tulane University in New Orleans have developed a ...

In the solar field, parabolic trough collectors of the HelioTrough® 2.0 type with a large aperture from a circuit that is suitable for operation with molten salt up to 565 degrees Celsius. The ...

We measure heliostats and parabolic trough collectors in system test benches or directly in the system on site. The test facilities are located at the DLR site in Cologne and at the Plataforma Solar ...
