Solar towers in Jülich
Solar towers in Jülich
In Jülich, DLR operates a large-scale research facility for solar irradiation tests that is unique in Europe. Here, DLR researchers work together with industrial companies to test and develop components and systems for commercial solar thermal power plants. The aim is to make solar thermal power plants more efficient and thus more cost-effective. DLR is also testing processes here for splitting water using solar power, for the production of solar fuels and for the use of solar heat in industrial processes.
