Applications of our services
Our QExpert team provides engineering and design services for EPC contractors and key-component suppliers in early project phases. Our assistance is based on an integral view. It takes all aspects into account to find the optimum techno-economic approach. During project execution, besides these consulting services, CSP Services offers its unique measurement technology for quality control of solar field key components. We offer on-site construction supervision as well as geometric quality control of mirror panels, concentrator steel structures and completely assembled concentrators.
