Ground based dual axis concentrating system

This powerful industrial solar heater design relies on high-precision concentrators mounted on dual-axis trackers, following the sun’s path throughout the entire day — both vertically and horizontally. This spherical tracking ensures that the system captures the maximum possible solar energy at every moment, dramatically boosting efficiency even at high thermal loads.

One of the major advantages of this technology is its versatility. Unlike traditional solar fields that require flat, uniform terrain, our concentrators can be deployed on uneven, odd-shaped land, opening new possibilities for sites that would otherwise be considered unsuitable.

In this design, each solar unit acts as an independent, autonomous thermal plant. Together, they form a cohesive, scalable heat production system. This modular approach means you can start small and expand over time — adapting capacity exactly to your needs, at your pace.
