  • The parabolic troughs are identical in size and structure to those of large concentrating solar power plants for electricity production (12 m x 5.77 m).
  • The major components – receivers and mirrors – were shipped from China; the entire installation work was carried out by an Andalusian company.
  • The solar circuit is filled with pressurized water, thus avoiding the use of environmentally precarious synthetic oils.
  • The storage volume consists of eight stratified, pressurised steel tanks with a total volume of 800 m3.
