Series production


Expertise is pivotal to the success of NOVATEC BioSol technology. Our technology reflects years of German research conducted in solar energy. And it dovetails perfectly with the solid track record in mass production processes with its roots in the German automotive industry.

We've even go so far as to patent what we know about mass-producing solar field components. Why? It's that important, that unparalleled.

Just one assembly line in series production can produce 220,000 square meters of solar fields in a two-shift operation. That's the equivalent of about 17 megawatts put out per year by an electric power station.

As part of the fully automated production process, robots ensure a consistently high grade of quality.

Our production process also features state of the art technology to constantly monitor the reflectors' optical precision.

Flat glass mirrors (primary mirrors) and the (radiation) receiver constitute the main components of solar thermal power plants based on Fresnel technology.

Primary mirror

The primary mirror is made from a sheet-metal sandwich profile exceptionall resistant to twisting and bending.

Receiver

Our Fresnel power plant receiver is stationary. Unlike in parabolic trough plants, the receiver is not tracked in the parabolic mirror's center.
