Rioglass Solar ya fabrica espejos solares en su fábrica de Mieres, Asturias, empleando electricidad renovable generada localmente. La instalación de autoconsumo fotovoltaico de 100kWp anexa a la planta de producción de espejos ha sido realizada por un equipo propio de técnicos, utilizando perfilería de aluminio fabricada por Alusín Solar también en Asturias, reduciendo la huella de carbono de la instalación.
En una primera etapa de fabricación, la electricidad fotovoltaica se empleará para calentar el vidrio plano para ser curvado y templado en un horno eléctrico. En una fase posterior, el vidrio curvado será espejado en una línea que solo consume electricidad.
Los espejos para centrales termosolares que está fabricando Rioglass Solar son los primeros fabricados con electricidad renovable procedente de una planta de autoconsumo fotovoltaico.

Macario Fernández, presidente ejecutivo de LatemAluminium, e Ignacio García-Conde, CEO de Rioglass Solar, han rubricado en Villabrázaro (Zamora) este contrato que refuerza la voluntad de ambas compañías en su apuesta por las energías limpias y renovables.
17 de marzo de 2022.- El presidente ejecutivo de LatemAluminium, Macario Fernández, ha firmado esta mañana en Villabrázaro (Zamora) junto a Ignacio García-Conde, CEO de Rioglass Solar, el contrato mediante el cual LatemAluminium impulsa su compromiso medioambiental a través del autoconsumo fotovoltaico en sus plantas de Villadangos del Páramos (León) y en la mencionada localidad zamorana de Villabrázaro. Ambas compañías han incidido en la importancia del autoconsumo en la industria y de cómo esta práctica se va a convertir en prioritaria para el conjunto del sector en España. La rúbrica de este contrato persigue, tal y como ha reseñado Macario Fernández, la adquisición de “energía eléctrica que generará Rioglass Solar, a través de la instalación de sistemas fotovoltaicos que se distribuirán en las cubiertas”. En este aspecto, el presidente ejecutivo de LatemAluminium ha incidido en que “tenemos clara nuestra apuesta por las energías verdes en todas las fases de nuestro proceso productivo y seguimos incorporando esta tecnología que es fundamental para la descarbonización de la industria en España”.
Por su parte, desde Rioglass Solar, su CEO, Ignacio María-García Conde, ha señalado su “satisfacción” por formar parte de un “proyecto que es importantísimo en toda España en lo que se refiere a la producción de aluminio reciclado. Nos parece prioritario en el momento en el que nos encontramos poder contribuir a este tipo de iniciativas industriales que tanto interés y tantos beneficios van a traer al conjunto de la economía de nuestro país”. Así, el CEO de Rioglass Solar ha explicado que la compañía que dirige “es una sociedad con una amplia experiencia en generación y venta de energía de origen renovable enfocada en ofrecer soluciones de autoconsumo para industrias a través de la firma de contratos de venta de energía que se adaptan a las necesidades de nuestros clientes..
Economía circular
Tanto desde LatemAluminium como desde Rioglass Solar, se ha destacado que “el de LatemAluminium es un proyecto pionero en torno al aluminio verde en España” y que una de sus señas de identidad es “la circularidad”, aspecto que se ajusta completamente al cambio de modelo productivo que se está impulsando desde la Unión Europea y que, sin duda, posibilitará aumentar la competitividad de las empresas españolas en un entorno en el que la adaptación al cambio por parte de las corporaciones es fundamental.
Rioglass Solar Signs Dubai 600 MWe CSP Project Order for Both Parabolic Trough Receiver Tubes and Mirrors with Abengoa Energía and Shanghai Electric
Brussels, 15th of March 2019
The record-breaking Dubai 700 MW CSP + 250 MW PV Hybrid Project Noor Energy 1, developed by Acwa Power in close cooperation with DEWA, Shanghai Electric Group Corporation as EPC, and Abengoa Energía as solar field technology provider, will utilize the Rioglass Solar tempered mirror and solar receiver technologies.
Rioglass Solar has received the confidence of the project partners and the largest order in its history in terms of megawatt power as well as in volume of products. Rioglass Solar will deliver its high-performing PTR 90-4G receiver tubes and 8.2 Parabolic Trough mirrors based on its impressive track record and its high-quality proven product development and manufacturing capabilities. It will supply these products of all three parabolic trough CSP units, each providing 200 MWe totaling 600 MWe, for the largest Parabolic Trough CSP project in the world. When completed, the solar complex will provide clean energy to more than 320.000 homes in Dubai, while reducing carbon emissions by 1,6 million ton per year.
Leading Technology in Receivers and Mirrors
Rioglass Solar´s innovative tempered Parabolic Trough mirror technology was first introduced in 2008 and has since then convinced customers around the world for its high performance both optically as in handling and O&M perspective. More than 3,5 GWe of these mirrors are operational worldwide and have been adapted to many different trough designs.
From the technologies it acquired from Siemens and Schott, Rioglass has forged a new generation of superior quality and reliability solar absorbers. This project will reemphasize Rioglass Solar´s position in the market with this high added-value product excelling in optical efficiency, durability, bankability and low O&M cost.
