There are different ways of using this energy, such as hydrogen fuel production, foundry applications and high temperature testing.

The furnace is a complex optical and mechanical construction, with 63 flat mirrors automatically controlled to track the sun in unison and redirect the solar thermal energy towards the crucible.

The place for the solar furnace of Uzbekistan was chosen carefully, because the sun shines there for 270 days a year.

The field uses 12090 mirrors in total, and is the largest concentrator in the world, with an area of 1849 square meters.

The solar furnace of Uzbekistan is controlled by employees from the laboratory on the 6th floor, and the observation ground is located on the highest spot.
