Services for Industry and Research

Meteorologische Messungen auf der Plataforma Solar de Almería (PSA).
Quelle: DLR. Owner and Operator of PSA is the Spanish research center CIEMAT.

The Institute of Solar Research offers international industrial customers of the CSP industry extensive services. Thereby the institute transfers results of its research and development work into the commercial application.

Other  research organizations can use the institutes’ research facilities and services for their own research projects.

The service portfolio of the solar researchers includes testing and qualification procedures for components, materials testing and the evaluation of the solar resources on site.

Scientists of the Institute use the collected data for creating simulations and forecasts, which can facilitate and improve the planning and development of projects. Component manufacturers and plant operators receive valuable recommendations for the optimisation of products and there function in overall system of a solar power plant.
 

Qualification/QUARZ Centre


The QUARZ Center at the Institute for solar research develops and applies test and qualification procedures for concentrating solar power plants and their components. We offer our service to industry customers on our laboratories and testing sites in Cologne, Jülich and at the PSA.
