Concentrated Solar Power Systems

FCR-CSET wants to support the development of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies because of the advantages they offer to increase the percentage of electricity production while giving stability to the grid.

 

At FCR-CSET we work to provide information in order to increase the competitiveness of these technologies by increasing production, decreasing operating costs or through innovative schemes to increase the value matrix of CSP.
