The Plataforma Solar de Almeria (PSA) makes for an incongruous sight: row after row of hi-tech solar panels amidst the hot, dry, dusty and barren Tabernas desert. This futuristic facility in a landscape that’s hardly changed for millions of years offers the visitor to Almeria an intriguing spectacle away from the well-trodden tourist paths. It is a rare opportunity to get a close look at the development of solar power technologies and an awe-inspiring glimpse of the future of power generation.
This is Europe’s largest plant dedicated to the research, development and testing of solar technologies and their applications, and has been carrying out groundbreaking science into concentrated solar power for more than thirty years. It is formally recognised as a Large European Research Installation of Scientific Excellence
