solarlite csp managing director joachim kruger was quoted as saying that the german company’s projects are designed so as to take full advantage of local content. he gives as an example a project in thailand in which 70% of the material has been sourced locally .
the result is an innovative, modular collector design based on the combination of a robust but light synthetic construction of a tested composite panel, an efficient thin - glass mirror and minimised steel construction. as a result, solarlite achieves the following competitive advantages :
direct steam generation requires a complex control and regulating system to control and maintain the pressure and temperature. solarlite uses a combination of recirculation and injection technology. that way, steam is continuously reintroduced into the water cycle so that the pressure remains stable. tse 1 has an operating temperature of 330°c with a pressure of 30 bars. “we are already working on developing this technology further. our current project, the tse 2 power plant, will reach an operating temperature of 400°c with 40 bars ,
says joachim krüger, ceo of solarlite gmbh .
the parabolic trough collector sl 4600 developed by solarlite is designed for operating temperatures up to 500 °c. it is made from a glass fibre composite material and a thin film glass mirror and as such it is especially light. this achieves a simplified construction and considerable cost reductions .
by contrast, our solarlite s series active road studs combine the use of retro - reflective strips with in - built high intensity leds powered by harnessing free solar energy, resulting in a solution that delivers 10x greater visibility of the layout of the road ahead, so up to 900m. this increases the available time to scope out the road ahead, enabling you to adjust your behaviour to the driving conditions ahead. even in poor weather conditions, where other road markings become less visible, solarlite surface road studs continue to shine through, guiding you safely .
whilst initially conceived for use on roads, their low profile makes the solarlite active road studs perfect for use in a wide variety of additional applications such as pedestrian and cycle paths, on crosswalks, level crossings and railway platforms. download the pathway studs specification sheet for further details .
in the joint research project known as “duke” that is supported by the german federal ministry for the environment, nature conservation and nuclear safety, solarlite gmbh and the german aerospace centre are testing a new version of direct steam generation that will make it possible to cut energy costs even more .
in the joint research project known as “duke” that is supported also by the german federal ministry for the environment, nature conservation and nuclear safety, solarlite gmbh, dlr – the german aerospace centre and ciemat are testing a new version of direct steam generation that will make it possible to cut energy costs even more .
solarlite has tested the dsg concept successfully in three pilot projects in thailand and germany. the dsg concept is environment friendly and allows significant reductions of the total investment costs and levelized electricity cost. with dsg a higher operating temperature will be achievable. the solarlite sl 4600 parabolic trough is a newly developed highly efficient product that can generate temperatures of up to 400 °c. each panel has an aperture width of 4, 6 m and is made of composite materials combined with an efficient thinglass mirror. this mirror reflects up to 95% of the sun' s radiation onto the absorber pipe positioned at the ideal focus of the parabolic mirror .

despite unusually poor radiation, on january 25, 2012, tse 1 supplied 5 mw of electrical power to thailand’s public power network for the first time. solarlite gmbh, based in duckwitz, mecklenburg - western pomerania, has reached a major milestone in the development of solar thermal energy by activating this power plant in southeast asia .
the decentralized modular system of solarlite is also unique in the world. the design based on combining a light composite construction and an efficient thin - glass mirror is advantageous in various aspects, for example a central production independent of the power plant sites as well as allowing small project sizes with no limitations. the solarlite sl 4600 parabolic trough is a newly developed highly efficient product that can generate temperatures of more than 400 °c. the sl 4600 is a light weight glass fiber composite material construction using only necessary minimal steel for torsional stiffness. the simplicity of the construction, together with the use of new materials and material combinations, allows mass production of an optical instrument with higher precision, whilst simultaneously reducing weight and costs .
the result of the research project is a new parabolic collector developed for the market with the name solarlite sl 4600. the aim was to develop a collector with a significantly higher efficiency. the research project optimised the collector and a prototype was created. this was subjected to comprehensive tests and measurements in cooperation with the german aerospace centre. more information on the sl 4600
we offer thousand oaks optical' s new solarlite solar filter film pieces in many different sizes. this is suitable to make your own: (i) solar viewing glasses or observing card (for direct solar viewing without the use of optical equipment), or (ii) front - mounted solar filters for telescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, or large camera lenses .
the possible size of power plants often corresponds to the requirements of small and medium - sized industrial companies. solarlite power plants can be operated as combined heat and power systems, simultaneously producing electricity and process heat for industrial applications. they can be integrated into existing plants and combined with fossil or other renewable energy sources (e. g. biomass, geothermal, oil) .
direct steam generation: this is the first time this technology is being employed by a company commercially. solarlite has refined the operating concept and tested it in plants in germany and thailand. the direct evaporation of water means the use of expensive and environmentally unfriendly combination of thermal oil plus heat exchanger can be avoided. this considerably increases efficiency compared to current technology, as well as lowering costs .
solarlite is the only company worldwide to have designed and constructed commercial solar thermal parabolic trough power plants based on direct generation of water / steam. the company has successfully tested the technology in three pilot and test plants in germany and thailand. the first commercial plant is built with an output of 5 mwe north of bangkok, the capital of thailand. direct steam generation has the following advantages :
csp today speaks to dr. joachim kruger, ceo and founder of solarlite, about the future of csp and how to increase competitiviness. dr. krueger is particpating at the 2nd csp optimisation summit (5 - 6 june, madrid) and will be discussing the ‘state - of - the - art direct steam generation’ in an exclusive panel joined by the ciemat – psa, dlr and novatec solar .
solarlite has created significant innovations within solar thermal energy. with the sl 4600, the company has successfully developed a parabolic trough collector made with a combination of glass fibre composite material and an efficient thin - film glass mirror. with this we have achieved higher operating temperatures, a simpler construction, a significant reduction in weight and panel costs and thereby ultimately an increase in the efficiency of the whole power plant .
the design for direct steam generation, which was implemented commercially for the first time at tse 1, offers the advantage of using solar radiation to heat water directly in an absorber tube, which produces the steam required to run the turbine. after developing and testing this design at three test and pilot facilities with the help of experts from the german aerospace centre, solarlite gmbh is now implementing it in commercial projects .
in collaboration with thai solar energy co. , ltd. , the investor and operator of tse 1 and tse2, solarlite gmbh is planning to build a total of 15 power plants with a combined output of 135 mw. joachim krüger explains: “solar thermal power plants use the sun as an energy source in a very efficient way. they are definitely at least 25% more efficient than photovoltaic power plants. ”
safely view the sun anytime and during all partial phases of an eclipse (a filter is required for all phases of an annular or partial eclipse). thousand oaks optical' s exclusive high quality solarlite polymer substrates provide superior safety features, sharper solar images, and pleasing orange solar image. this solar eclipse film meet ce / iso safety requirements. the transmission is 1 / 1, 000th of 1% (optical density od 5) .
a modern company cannot compete today without continuous development, including the development of new marketable products. the growing market of concentrated solar power in particular requires investment in research and development. solarlite has rapidly gained experience in the area of small and medium solar thermal power plants. several pilot and test plants have been constructed. the team is constantly working on the advancement of technology and on bringing new innovations onto the market. our focus lies on further promoting the market acceptance of solar thermal energy .
a wide market acceptance of solar thermal power plants requires further increases in the overall efficiency of a power plant as well as cost reductions. reaching this goal requires an investment in further development of the technology. solarlite is placing emphasis on the improvement and automation of the production process for parabolic troughs. in this respect, the company is following the strategy of further reducing the panel price per square meter. this goal will be achieved with the aid of new manufacturing processes, using new materials or material combinations .
i bought the thousand oaks optical solarlite solar filter film (nd 5) square piece 12
from agena astroproducts. this is some really great film. there are some flimsy films out there. but this was very resistant to creasing. i expected this to tear and have permanent wrinkles but none. it works great without a problem. i have made a filter for my camera and my telescope and have some really great pics. it came well packaged and survived shipping. thanks agena for selling this product. i will definitely be ordering again .
solarlite csp technology gmbh, located in mecklenburg - pomerania, germany, develops and builds decentralized solar - thermal parabolic trough power plants (csp – concentrated solar power) and process heat plants. for the first time worldwide, solarlite is using direct steam generation commercially in a power plant. solar thermal facilities offer the most sustainable form of energy recovery in terms of the environment, resources and availability. the technology has the advantage that as direct solar radiation increases, so does the efficiency of the facilities. the facilities are also characterized by a high degree of flexibility. they can be combined with all other fossil and renewable energy sources and are thus base - load capable. another plus is the option of producing electricity and process heat at the same time or independently of one another. in addition, the residual heat can be used for further industrial applications for example desalination and cooling. the first commercial solar thermal parabolic trough power plant with direct steam generation in the world is producing electricity since fall 2011. the 5 mwe solar thermal power plant located in kanchanaburi / thailand is unique in three different ways .
the solarlite 4600 is the second generation of highly efficient parabolic trough collectors. the product was developed for operating up to 500°c. the collector, with an aperture of 4. 6 m, consists of precisely shaped parabolic troughs made from glass fibre composite material, upon which a thin - film glass mirror is glued. this reflects more than 95% of the sun' s radiation on to a receiver pipe positioned at the focal line. water is pumped through the pipe, absorbing the reflected heat and vaporising. a turbine generator produces electricity. the surplus heat can be used for further heat applications .
solarlite active road studs don' t have that same dependency. they don' t rely on the headlight beam of the vehicle at all. instead, they actively deliver light output directly in the natural line of sight of the driver from high brightness leds in the stud. these led road studs are powered by solar energy captured from natural sunlight by the in - built solar panel and stored in the stud' s internal battery. as a result of this active light output, they deliver 10 x greater visibility of the road layout ahead than the traditional retro - reflective road markings, giving drivers up to 900m visibility .
according to current publications concentrated solar power will constantly grow and double its worldwide capacity in the near future. nevertheless the technology needs support through ongoing investments in research and development to become a competitive source. in countries where the government takes the leading role and supports csp development through long - term oriented incentives we are able to achieve a high competitive position by the next few years. the future of csp is not the large - scale project of 150 mw or more but the individual customized solution to supply energy to industries and rural regions. i also see a significant price decrease that will allow us to install smaller scale systems even in areas with lower dni, like solarlite does in southeast asia. the csp plants will hybridize with biomass or biogas and become base load capable. in addition to that we will see dsg systems with new storage devices to back up during transient conditions and to extend daily solar operations .

smart, safe and sustainable solar powered road studs, proven to increase night time road safety. providing a view of the road layout ahead in the driver' s natural line of vision and well beyond the headlight beam of a vehicle .
making do with sub - standard visibility on the road is a recipe for disaster, collisions and in the worst case scenario, fatalities .
conventional retro - reflective road studs have been around for decades and in that time, their performance has barely changed. they still rely on the effectiveness of the vehicle' s headlight beam to provide enough light at the right angle to reflect some of that light back at the driver to delineate the road ahead. at best, that headlight beam normally extends to about 90m .
and this is proven to make a significant difference, reducing night - time road accidents by over 70% .
let' s put that into perspective. a motorist driving at a speed of 100km / h (62mph) will see 90m of delineation from retro - reflective studs. this provides around 3. 2 seconds to react to changes in the road ahead. with active road studs providing up to 900m visibility, reaction time available to the motorist is over 30 seconds. this provides plenty of time to take in and process information about possible hazards ahead and adjust your driving accordingly without needing to slam on the brakes .
just a few hours of daylight will provide enough battery power to last days - more than enough to ensure the system operates all year round, whatever the weather and wherever the location in the world .

this is an excellent product. i built a homemade filter for my camera and my telescope. i haven' t actually used it on my telescope but i have with my camera. the pics turned out great! it arrived early. for the price, i considered it great deal. the material actually seems like a better quality than others. it seems to stand up to the' wrinkle' test. some film if you move it, it seems to develop permanent creases. not this though. tough stuff. thanks agena for making this available .
i made my own filter with this film for my at60ed refractor. it gives the sun a rich yellow color which is great for photograpgy. as usual agena setvice was fast and excellent. highly recommended !
i made an economical filter to mount on the front of my dobsonian from this nd sheet from thousand oaks for the 2017 solar eclipse. the filter has the amber glow which i find more pleasing for viewing, it seems to be quite robust with resistance to scratches and punctures which is my biggest fear from a film .
i got this for the solar eclipse, which i watched from very near the center of totality near grand island, ne. i had meant to purchase a filter for my canon eos but waited too long. agena astroproducts was the last place i could find solar film and they answered the phone on a sunday! they will be the first place i go to from now on. thanks for the outstanding service! ! !
i received the filter material in plenty of time to make my own filter for photographing the eclipse. i procrastinated on doing anything for the eclipse so was late in ordering or doing anything. i ordered the 600mm telephoto 4 days before the eclipse and received everything and produced some rather good photographs for my first time doing this. i 3d printed a cover to go over the lens and created a 4. 6
square opening and then create a groove in this opening to make it 5
then printed a frame to hold the filter in place in the opening. worked very will and extremely happy with the timeliness of delivery and the quality of the product .
worked great for the 2017 solar eclipse. was able to cut up into pieces for various telescopes and cameras .

i ordered this product before hearing about all the counterfeit solar filters people were selling. i know thousand oaks is a good brand, but i wasn' t 100% sure this was a legit sale. i didn' t go blind though and got some great photos of the eclipse, so it was satisfactory .
provided plenty of solar filter to equip my dslr camera, a 5
telescope, and a pair of binoculars, with filter to spare. arrived just in time for the eclipse. now, i can do solar astronomy anytime i want - saw those big sunspots last month .
worked exactly as expected. cut it to size, mount it to a cardboard rig, off you go .
worked well for the eclipse used in front of binoculars, camera, plain eyes a bit .
great product, got us ready for the eclipse! !! we used this on three cameras taking stills and as well as video of the eclipse. can' t wait to purchase more for 2024 !

because the technology uses water instead of the commonly used thermal oil as a heat transfer fluid, components such as heat exchangers are not needed. but most importantly, direct steam generation allows higher operating temperatures of up to 500°c, in contrast to the 395°c made possible using thermal oil. for that reason, parabolic trough plants are clearly more efficient and thus better performers in the long run. not to mention, these power plants are especially environmentally - friendly because they do not require thermal oil, an expensive and dangerous component in limited supply. lower co2 emissions are another noteworthy feature: 964 t / year less than oil and 1, 258 t / year less than coal .
the efficiency of parabolic trough plants can be further increased in, for example, co - generation applications with simultaneous electricity and thermal energy usage, or when energy storage solutions are integrated. in addition, there is potential for hybrid solutions with other renewable energy sources. “this technology has a broad range of applications. the fact that energy costs can be reduced over the long term and that we can free ourselves from fluctuating prices are real opportunities for industry ,
adds joachim krüger .
the partners in this project aim to set up a collector row to investigate solar direct steam generation according to the once through concept. the project comprises planning, development and commissioning, test operation and a system assessment. the conclusion of the project will bring the first proof of function for solar direct steam generation according to the once trough concept on a fully functional collector row .
there is currently no practical experience of the once through concept that allows the inference that operation is guaranteed to be possible under real weather conditions and considering the economic requirements .
the project deals primarily with the construction, commissioning and first operation of a collector row to examine the operational capability of solar direct steam generation according to the once through concept. an important criterion for completing the evaluation of an operating concept is the long - term stability of the components and systems used. the project is to achieve the following essential milestones :
further development of a parabolic trough collector using a composite structure for direct steam generation and for use in decentralised power plants with combined heat and power. the aim is to optimise energy output and simultaneously reduce investment costs, in order to make the technology interesting for a wide customer base .
the increase in optical efficiency up to 75. 3% through the use of new materials ensures an improved exploitation of solar energy, which in turn leads to a more cost - effective energy supply .
the modular construction system makes a decentralised in situ energy supply possible, without the need for long transfer distances (isolated applications). combined heat and power and the use of residual heat for industrial applications makes the system flexible and economically interesting .
new materials make the sl 4600 light. costs for transport, assembly and maintenance can therefore by reduced, and service life is extended .
with the sl 4600, the company was able to not only achieve substantial reductions in costs and weight, but also reduce the area necessary for a solar field through heightened optical efficiency .
the new parabolic trough collector achieves higher operating temperatures and is particularly efficient in sun - rich areas with solar radiation of 1, 600 kwh / m². the company' s flexible system for regions without connection to the energy grid is of interest here .

tsvet has been following the development of the global renewable energy industry for seven years now. she' s got a soft spot for emerging markets .
renewables now is an independent one - stop shop for business news and market intelligence for the global renewable energy industry .
the sl 4600 is an advancement on its precursor, the sl 2300, which is suitable for use in operating temperatures of up to 250°c .
optimised collector design the parabolic design was optimally aligned to the properties of the vacuum receiver. the length of a collector was set at 12m, corresponding to the length of 3 receivers. twelve collectors are connected to one module. the length of a segment was set at 12 m, corresponding to the length of 3 receivers. twelve segments are connected to one collector. the length of a collector is thus set at 120 m .
higher operating temperatures an improved design and improved optical properties mean the new parabolic trough collector permits operating temperatures of up to 500 °c .
reduction of the collector weight reducing the proportion of steel means the weight of the collector is reduced .
cost reductions in production and transport the individual modules can be shipped without problems in standard containers, which means on - site manufacturing is no longer absolutely necessary. the modular design makes unrestricted project sizes possible .
increase in optical efficiency the new parabolic trough collector achieves an optical efficiency of up to 75% .
concentrated solar thermal power will constantly grow and double its worldwide capacity in the near future .
my vision is a co2 free energy production with the sun as energy source, which makes energy more environmentally friendly and everywhere available at a reasonable price. to achieve this objective together with constantly increasing global energy demand csp technology will have an important role especially in regions with strong direct normal irradiance means the world sunniest regions. the high flexibility of csp technology will force the deployment in combination with the aim to reduce co2 emissions .
we are also working on getting acceptance of hybrid solutions. we have a biomass / biogas - csp product prepared, which will enter the market shortly. we are optimistic that solar - biomass plants really present a solution for rural areas, given the abundant biomass resource that grows quickly and can be harvested often. at our particular plant sizes of 5 to 20 mwe the logistical problem of biomass / biogas is minimized, but can create large synergy effects for economic growth in agricultural, rural areas .
future thermal storage will be essential to become csp a competitive solution of flexible and reliable power supply .
