HYBUILD is a group of 21 partners from 9 countries. Every month, a new HYBUILD partner is introduced in our Blog section. Today, Fresnex.
Fresnex – In a nutshell
Fresnex GmbH provides an innovative concentrating solar system for various applications. Since the founding of the company in 2012 the focus was mainly on medium temperature (100°C – 250°C) solar steam systems for industrial applications.
Based on a patent the company step by step optimized the Fresnel concept of large concentrated solar power projects for small scale installations from 500m² to 20.000m². The flat solar mirror modules are highly prefabricated, easy to transport, simple to install and maintain a low wind profile combined with low weight, all of it being key factors for small industrial applications.
Fresnex role in HYBUILD
Within HYBUILD Fresnex is now introducing a step towards even smaller installations and lower temperatures. The aim is to reduce the costs and increase the performance of very small installations. This shall pave the way to a market entry in the building sector.
A 60m² concentrated solar thermal system with a temperature range of up to 120°C will be installed at the demo site in Almatret. It will serve as main thermal energy source for the Mediterranean system concept.
