About SOLITEM Founded in 1999 by Dr. Eng. Ahmet Lokurlu. Developer and Manufacturer of patented Parabolic Trough Collectors in different sizes. Unique Features such as Precise Sun-Tracking and Online-Monitoring System. Development, Planning and Construction of small, middle and large scale Solar Energy Supply Systems. Headquarter in Aachen, Germany and Manufacturing in Ankara, Turkey. Proven Track of Record with commercial and R&D projects in Turkey, Germany, Jordan, Morocco, Italy, Cyprus and Mexico.
Technology and Innovation High-performance, high-precision Parabolic Trough Collectors (PTC) convert the solar irradiation into useful heat energy by concentrating the solar beam up to 80 times. SOLITEM collectors reach operation temperatures of 150 up to 250 C. Automated tracking system, developed by SOLITEM, enables the collectors to track the sun from sunrise to sunset. Light-weighted and robust collector design assures both ground and roof installation. SOLITEM offers collectors in different sizes for different applications and mounting areas.
Solar Thermal Energy Supply new applications Direct savings on electricity with Solar Cooling: Avoiding electricity consumption for compression cooling, realized already several times. Direct savings on fuel with Solar Steam Generation: Several 100 kw already in operation. SOLTRIGEN Solar trigeneration: The world-wide first solar thermal trigeneration of cooling, heat and electricity, realized on Cyprus. SOLITEM s main supply: Collector field with Parabolic Trough Collectors, Tracking systems, Electronical parts for full automatic operation. SOLITEM s experience: Customized plant design, tracking and automatic operation of the collector field, electronical components, Switching Cabinet with Online Monitoring System.
