Solar Parabolic Trough Rec 20

The system is connected in series with your boiler feed-water line. Solar thermal energy pre-heats the water to up to 198°C before it enters the boiler, meaning the boiler requires up to 80% less fuel (gas, wood, coal, or diesel) to raise it to the final steam temperature.

Yes. Radha Solar systems are fully MSME approved. Industrial units and agro-processing businesses can apply for interest subventions, capital subsidies, and accelerated tax depreciation benefits.

The system is designed to work in tandem with your existing boiler. When solar levels drop on cloudy days, the automated control system shifts the thermal load back to the boiler, ensuring zero downtime in your factory production line.

Single-axis tracking (used in troughs) tracks the sun along one axis, usually East to West, which is excellent for linear receivers. Dual-axis tracking tracks both azimuth and elevation, focusing on a single point, which achieves higher temperatures up to 400°C.

The evacuated stainless steel absorber tube is designed to last 20 to 25 years. It is encased in a borosilicate glass envelope with a vacuum barrier to prevent convective heat losses.

It depends on the loop size. A standard 10-trough modular system requires approximately 150 to 200 square meters of unshaded roof or ground surface.

Yes, the Power Trough REC-20 is fully rated to run thermal oils as the heat transfer medium, which is ideal for process temperatures above 100°C without high loop pressures.

They are cleaned by spraying them with clean water, preferably in the early morning or evening when the mirrors are cool, to avoid thermal shock to the glass.

No. The PLC control system includes an automatic defocus feature. If the fluid temperature exceeds the preset safety limit, the tracking system automatically rotates the troughs away from the sun.

Yes, they operate in parallel with standard IBR (Indian Boiler Regulations) boilers, serving as preheaters without altering the pressure rating certification of your existing boiler.

A medium-scale loop of 150 square meters of collectors can save up to 10,000 to 12,000 liters of diesel fuel per year under typical Indian sunshine profiles.

Typically between 2.5 and 3 years. If the food processing plant operates in multiple shifts and uses hot water continuously, the payback can be even faster.

Yes, we build secure concrete pedestals on ground installations, or utilize roof-clamping brackets anchored into the building's load-bearing beams.

Yes, all tracking parameters, loop temperatures, and calculated heat generation are loggable via SCADA or internet-connected PLC modules.

We use high-reflectivity, low-iron tempered silvered glass designed specifically for concentrated solar thermal applications to maximize reflectivity and resist scratching.

In India, you can write off 40% of the asset cost in the first year under the Accelerated Depreciation tax rules, reducing your company's net income tax liability.

Installing solar thermal units demonstrates a proactive reduction in fossil fuel burn, which helps in securing approvals and clean-air compliance clearances from state pollution boards.

On clear winter days, the system performs exceptionally well because the low ambient temperature does not affect the evacuated receiver tube, which has high vacuum insulation.

No, the single-axis tracking motor consumes very little power, typically less than 0.5 kWh per day, as it rotates slowly to keep track with the sun.

Yes, depending on design configuration and system length, it can produce steam up to 10 bar pressure when designed as a direct steam generation (DSG) loop.
