Drawing power from sunlight? Yes, we’re on it.

Solar Energy SCHOTT Solar has been active in the solar technology field for decades. We leverage our years of vast experience to develop new solutions for sustainable power supply to ensure the long-term conservation of our planet’s resources.

Today, SCHOTT Solar is a market leader for components for large-scale Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants that are based on the parabolic trough technology. This technology converts sunlight that is captured by large mirrors into heat, which is turned into electrical power inside a steam turbine. Our receivers are the most important components for these large scale solar plants – solar plants that enable entire cities to be provided with clean power. So, as we can see, the sun ultimately proves to be the largest power plant in the world.
