The DLR Institute of Solar Research operates Germany's only solar thermal test power plant in Jülich. The Solar Towers Jülich are a globally unique research facility for tests with concentrated, natural sunlight. The facility is not only used by DLR researchers, but is also available to industrial companies for their own tests. Components and systems for solar thermal power plants, the use of high-temperature solar heat for industrial processes as well as components and solar thermochemical processes for the production of fuels are tested here.
