FLT20 Module Performance
Optical efficiency
IAM curves
Angle of incidence modifiers, or IAM curves, are used to estimate the optical performance of Fresnel concentrators. The optical efficiency can be approximated by multiplying the nominal optical performance (63.2 %), by the value of the IAMtransverse the IAMlongitudinal obtained from the curves.
Estas curvas se calculan mediante herramientas de trazado de rayos. Para utilizar las curvas es necesario introducir los ángulos de incidencia transversal y longitudinal. El resultado de los IAM debe multiplicarse por la eficiencia nominal (63.2 %).
Module construction
Technology made in Spain
Factory in Castellon
Our modules are manufactured in Castellon with 100 % Spanish technology. In our factory you can see first-hand how our solar boilers are made. In addition, we have in our facilities a solar steam boiler to closely see how is the real operation of this technology.
Module assembly
Modular and scalable technology
Pre-assembled solar modules
FLT20 modules are transported from the factory fully pre-assembled. Land transport is carried out by truck, while maritime transport is carried out in standard shipping containers.
Advantages over on-site assembly
- Improvement in the optical quality of the system (factory control)
- Minimum interference with the client during construction
- Minimum time and space required for construction
