After more than a decade of hibernation, parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) has emerged from its slumber with a mighty roar. Large new parabolic trough CSP power plants have recently ...

Parabolic trough solar collectors (PTCs) remain at the forefront of concentrated solar power technologies, converting solar irradiance into high-grade thermal energy through a curved reflective ...

Solar rays focused on concentrator photovoltaic cells using parabolic mirrors not only supply electricity, but also thermal energy for industrial processes, heating or cooling. Three technological ...

In this video we dive into compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) and their incredible ability to focus light from multiple input angles onto a central target at once. This allows them to provide ...

IBM Research and Switzerland-based Airlight Energy today announced a new parabolic dish that increases the sun’s radiation by 2,000 times while also producing fresh water and air conditioning. The new ...
