In the last years, SENER has increased its research and development activities in thermoelectric solar power and today is considered one of the worldwide market leaders in technology design and development as well as construction of plants. The company is world renowned as a "turn key” or EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) specialist in concentrated thermosolar energy plants, both in cylindrical-parabolic collector (CPC) technology as well as central tower receivers plants.

Its first forays into solar energy go back to the 1980s, when it designed the first heliostats, now operating at the Almeria Solar Platform (PSA). Since then, the company has made significant advances in solar energy.

SENER’s ability to define the vanguard in the Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) field, combined with an ambitious technological development program has made the company a cost-effective, innovative market leader, and the number of contracted projects. In this sense, SENER offers practical solutions that have been tried and tested.
