Welcome to SolarPACES 2025!

Welcome to the 31st SolarPACES Conference, the world’s leading conference on concentrating solar power, thermal and chemical energy systems!

Following the outstanding success of the 2024 conference, we look forward to holding 2025 at a venue with a long history in CSP research: Almería, Spain. Since the early 1980s, innovative research has been conducted there that has helped to significantly increase the efficiency and commercial viability of CSP technologies.

Join us as a speaker, participant or sponsor and don't miss the exciting conference program or the technical tour. We look forward to seeing you!

Abstract upload will open in early February.
