Solar Concentrators

S21, S50 and S52 concentrator platforms for industrial heat production.

Rackam's concentrator platforms are designed to convert direct solar radiation into useful thermal energy for industrial processes. The technology roadmap moves from proven field deployments toward higher-output, infrastructure-grade systems suitable for steam, storage charging and hybrid heat networks.

Core capabilities

  • Dual-axis tracking and optical alignment strategies
  • Modular field architecture for staged deployment
  • Receiver compatibility for oil, heat transfer fluids and high-temperature loops
  • Wind stow and survival strategies for industrial sites
  • Field assembly approach designed for repeatability and serviceability
Solar Concentrators

Platform elements

S21

Legacy/proven platform used as an operational reference for solar thermal field experience.

S50

Larger dual-axis concentrator generation used for higher-output industrial projects and demonstrations.

S52

Next-generation industrial platform positioned for scalable deployment, storage charging and high-temperature heat delivery.

02 / Dispatchable heat

Thermal Storage

Packed-bed and sand-based storage systems for industrial thermal buffering.

Thermal storage turns intermittent solar heat into a more useful industrial resource. Rackam's storage direction focuses on robust, low-cost storage media, industrial heat exchangers and control strategies that allow solar heat to be charged, retained and dispatched according to plant demand.

Core capabilities

  • Packed-bed storage architecture using mineral media such as sand or rock
  • Thermal buffering between solar production and process demand
  • Charge/discharge control linked to site load requirements
  • High-temperature storage roadmap for steam and hybrid industrial systems
  • Scalable cell-based design for phased capacity expansion
Thermal Storage

Platform elements

Storage medium

Sand, rock or other mineral media selected for cost, availability, temperature range and durability.

Heat exchanger

Embedded tube, serpentine or modular exchanger concepts used to transfer heat to and from the storage bed.

Controls

Dispatch logic prioritizes process demand, storage state-of-charge, forecasted solar availability and system constraints.

03 / Process integration

Steam & Heat Transfer

Industrial heat delivery systems, steam generation and boiler hybridization.

Rackam's technology platform is intended to integrate solar heat into real industrial plants. This includes heat transfer networks, steam generators, heat exchangers, controls and safety systems that allow solar thermal production to operate in parallel with existing boilers and process utilities.

Core capabilities

  • Industrial process heat integration and load matching
  • Steam generation concepts for winter or year-round thermal loads
  • Hybridization with existing gas boilers and plant steam headers
  • Heat transfer loops using localized receiver loops and centralized transport networks
  • Containerized balance-of-plant concepts for repeatable deployment
Steam & Heat Transfer

Platform elements

Solar-to-process heat

Thermal energy is collected, transferred and dispatched to process loads through a controlled heat network.

Solar-to-steam

Stored or directly available heat can feed a compact steam generation package operating alongside existing boilers.

Hybrid operation

The solar system reduces fuel consumption while existing equipment maintains reliability and peak coverage.

04 / Intelligence layer

Controls & Software

SolarDesign, field controls, monitoring and optimization tools.

Software differentiates Rackam from hardware-only thermal equipment suppliers. The controls and software layer connects field equipment, simulations, tracking algorithms, monitoring dashboards and project design tools into a coherent technology platform.

Core capabilities

  • SolarDesign simulation and layout generation tools
  • Tracker control logic for concentrator operation and safety positions
  • Field monitoring, diagnostics and data logging
  • Optimization based on solar availability, storage state and process demand
  • SCADA-ready architecture for industrial sites
