Most of the R+D activities are related to parabolic trough collectors, which is the CSP technology with the largest commercial deployment so far: 2387.5 MWe in operation in March of 2013 in USA (415 MWe) and Spain (1972.5 MWe).
This technology concerns medium-temperature applications: 125º< T < 450ºC
Objective: Develop innovative components for solar fields and competitive technologies for using solar energy in the mid-temperature range (125ºC-450ºC)
ANDASOL-I plant (Granada, Spain)
Objective: Develop knowledge, technologies and applications in the field of high-temperature solar energy and photon concentration.

LECE (Energy Testing of Building Components) consists of 4 16-m3 thermally insulated test cells with one wall prepared for testing architectural components.
These tests allow component thermal losses and some optical properties as transmissivity of light, etc., to be evaluated.
This laboratory has been quality-certified by ENAC
