Photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) plants are used to capture the sun’s energy. PV technology has become an integral part of the worldwide energy mix, and will only grow in importance as time goes on. The standards for this technology are very high. And DMC Global is helping to advance PV even further – with reliable, intelligent and innovative chemical solutions.

CSP technology, meanwhile, concentrates solar radiation to heat up a fluid, and uses this heat to generate electricity. This technology makes it easy to store thermal energy – enabling the production of energy even when the sun is not shining. BASF contributes to this technology through the production and supply of salts used for heat storage and heat transfer. Additionally, DMC Global offers consultancy services and engineering solutions tailored to multiple stages of plant development and operation.
