Dish Test Facility

On September 26, 2012, in

This area of the site allows industry partners to install full-scale solar dishes for long-term reliability testing and evaluation. There are currently ten SES dishes and six Infinia dishes at this location. The site also includes two SNL-developed solar dishes that are available for research. Solar dishes can be used for the high-temperature portions of [...]


Molten Salt Test Loop

On September 26, 2012, in

The molten salt test loop directly supports the SunShot goals by providing development for thermal energy storage costs ≤$15/kWhth and by allowing greater collection efficiencies and higher-temperature operation for linear Fresnel and trough systems through utilization of molten salt HTF. The facility also provides a means of performing accelerated lifetime testing on components, thus reducing [...]
