CSPS offers measurement equipment as well as engineering and consulting services for developers, operators and owners of solar thermal power plants and has clients in Germany, Spain, and other countries worldwide. The company successfully applies innovative and CSP-specific measurement techniques to assure high performance solar fields. The measurement techniques photogrammetry (QFoto) and deflectometry (QDec) together with specially developed evaluation and assessment tools serve for prototype evaluation, quality assurance, inspection and performance improvement of solar fields in concentrating solar power plants (i.e. parabolic troughs, heliostats, Fresnel systems, dishes) and in component manufacturing. Solar beam (DNI) resource measurements with remote controlled stations complement the scope of measurement applications. Consulting, due diligence, and studies by the team are based on the long experience and technological know-how in international r&d and commercial projects. CSPS supports its clients in their attempts to decrease risks, increase project performance, and gain competitiveness in the growing CSP market sector.

The founders and managing partners, Dr. Eckhard Lüpfert, Dr. Klaus Pottler and Dr. Steffen Ulmer, have been members of the DLR Solar Research Department for many years. With their scientific developments and publications, their worldwide field measurement experience and their successful support in optimising CSP technology they and their team have become recognised experts and suppliers in this field.
