Development and lifecycle testing of a low cost waterborne Linear Fresnel Reflector (LFR) collector assembly for CSP applications

We overview recent development and experimental measurements of a low cost linear Fresnel collector system for concentrated solar power (CSP) applications. This work is derived from a joint industry and U.S. government laboratory development effort focused on producing a disruptively low cost CSP collector system using water-borne reflectors.We overview recent development and experimental measurements of a low cost linear Fresnel collector system for concentrated solar power (CSP) applications.
