The Solnova Solar Power Station is a large CSP power station made up of five separate units of 50 MW each.
This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (July 2022) |
The facility is part of the Solucar Complex, in Sanlúcar la Mayor, in Spain, the same area where the PS20 solar power tower is also located.[citation needed] With the commissioning of the third 50 MW unit, the Solnova-IV in August 2010, the power station ranks as one of the largest CSP power stations in the world.

Solnova-I, Solnova-III, and Solnova-IV were commissioned in mid-2010 and are all rated at 50 MWe in installed capacity each.[citation needed] All five plants are built, owned and operated by Abengoa Solar, a Spanish solar power company.
All five power stations, the three commissioned and two under development, will be utilizing parabolic troughs, a technology to use concentrated solar power. The three commissioned power stations are also equipped to support natural gas as its secondary fuel source for power generation.[citation needed]
