Azelio

Eclipse designed the mirror optics for Azelio’s concentrated solar power system — 66 mirror elements in three different shapes — and developed the optical metrology needed for production. The key challenge was creating alignment software that could tilt each mirror element fast and reliably while balancing cost against optical performance.
