Free Training course on CSTP technologies and solar radiation assessment 
5 lessons to have a comprehensive understanding of technology

Join Manuel Silva, one of Spain’s leading experts on concentrated solar thermal power, in a free five-lesson webinar series that will cover current technologies, project site planning as well as an assessment of current options for delivering dispatchable power.


The web based course will drill down on technological issues for the Concentrated Solar Thermal Power industry, including:


How the technology works – the 4 CSTP technologies close up: parabolic troughs, linear Fresnel, parabolic dish & central receiver


Solar resource assessment – how to calculate the actual solar profitability of your site


Heat storage & hybridisation – what is the real scope for dispatchability


The course will be lead by Manuel Silva, PHd University of Seville, who has over 24 years experience in the CSTP field. Manual Silva was the winner of last year’s CSP Today Special Achievement Award 09.


How do I register? You can register for this course here. A reminder will be sent to your in-box with dates and time 3 days and 1 day before the event.
