OverviewEnclosed troughEfficiencyDesignEarly commercial adoptionCommercial plantsBibliography

The enclosed trough architecture encapsulates the solar thermal system within a greenhouse-like glasshouse. The glasshouse creates a protected environment to withstand the elements that can increase the reliability and efficiency of the solar thermal system. Lightweight curved solar-reflecting mirrors are suspended within the glasshouse. A single-axis tracking system
