Lucida Solar is established in 2016 with a game-changer innovative idea to do something in favour of the nature and for the well-being of humanity. Their team of energetic, creative thinkers share a passion for nature, bringing together over 30 years of experience in solar energy engineering and design. Their R&D centre is located in Izmir Technology Development Zone in Urla, Turkey.

The company specialises in Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) system for industrial heat process applications. They also develop CSP systems to produce industrial process heat. Their solar collectors track the sun along two axes for increased efficiency and superior performance. In addition, their modular collectors can be installed and integrated easily into new or existing facilities. They work with a wide range of industries whose processes can benefit from Lucida Solar’s  economic design.
