We provide superior heliostat systems
at breakthrough costs.
Thermata will supply the lowest cost, yet most accurate and versatile, heliostat field in the industry.
Heliostats that focus the sun on a target can make up more than 40% of the total cost of a project. Thermata’s core technology enables a unique and aggressively low-cost heliostat field that is scalable from remote deployment to industrial rooftop to utility scale. Our proprietary, continuous closed-loop tracking system eliminates the need for encoders, linear actuators, and other expensive components used by traditional heliostats.
Thermata heliostats significantly
reduce costs.
Far lower costs
  • Up to 50% lower heliostat system costs
  • Up to 50% lower installation costs (prep, wiring, calibration, and alignment labor)
  • Lower O&M costs
Higher output
  • Closed-loop precision mirror positioning
  • Self-configuring setup
  • Smooth flux map
  • Heliostat-blocking minimization
  • Higher heliostat uptime
Thermata is ideal for a broad range of thermal/solar flux range applications, including:
  • Utility-scale CSP
  • Enhanced oil recovery
  • Dense-pack CPV/CHP
  • Process steam/heat
  • Stirling engine/Brayton cycle
  • Industrial drying
  • Boiler feed water
  • Industrial and domestic hot water
Thermata is well-suited to augment near-field arrays for improved receiver flux distribution and efficiency.
