Solar MEMS ISSTX

Solar MEMS is a Spanish technological-based company that specializes in the development of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) for solar energy applications. MEMS are small devices that combine electrical and mechanical components on a single chip, enabling precise and efficient control of various functions. Solar MEMS was founded in 2010, and its headquarters are located in Madrid, Spain. The company's main focus is on developing MEMS-based solutions for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, which are a type of solar power plant that uses mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a small area to generate heat, which is then used to generate electricity. Solar MEMS has developed several innovative products for CSP plants, including a solar tracking system that uses MEMS sensors to precisely track the movement of the sun and adjust the angle of the mirrors or lenses accordingly. This results in more efficient use of the available sunlight and higher energy output from the CSP plant. In addition to solar tracking systems, Solar MEMS also offers other MEMS-based solutions for CSP plants, such as thermal actuators that can control the flow of heat in the plant, and sensors that can monitor the performance of the plant in real-time. Solar MEMS has received several awards and recognitions for its innovative technology, including the European Commission's Horizon 2020 SME Instrument, which provides funding to small and medium-sized enterprises with high-growth potential.
