Solar Tower Systems GmbH
Solar Tower Systems GmbH (STS) from Starnberg/ Germany illuminates a Norwegian community by sun mirrors.
Attracted by very great interest in the international media, performance of an innovative mirror system will be launched in this last week of October in Rjukan (Norway). This mirror system supplies the community with reflected sunlight during the dark of winter time. With customized solar mirror technology (Heliostats) the technology company Solar Tower Systems GmbH provides cozy warmth and sunlight onto the main square of the community. Residents of Rjukan, an industrial town in Norway, have grown accustomed to dark and gloomy winters. Shielded by the Gaustatoppen Mountains, the valley town is cut off from direct sunlight during five to six months of the year. Late last year Solar Tower Systems GmbH was commissioned by the municipality of Rjukan with the design, manufacture and installation of the so-called ‘Mirror Projects Solspeil ‘. Thanks to these newly installed mirrors, however, Rjukan will receive sunlight for the first time in the town’s more than 100-year history. On a hillside about 500 meters above the town, an expert team of Solar Tower Systems – with many years of experience in the field of solar thermal power plants, has-installed several heliostats being guided computerized to follow the course of the sun. STS Project Manager Joachim Maass is enthusiastic: We are pleased that our company was selected for the planning and execution of this exciting project. The environmental conditions were very challenging and the design of the overall system is compared to our main business very specific. Solar Tower Systems GmbH well- known amongst experts for its expertise on heliostat technology, which is usually used for solar thermal power plants in very sunny areas like Arabia, North Africa and Australia.
