# Solar Capture Technology: - Fresnel Lenses: Utilize large Fresnel lenses (20m x 20m) to focus sunlight onto a smaller area, generating temperatures up to 2000°C. - System Efficiency: The lenses concentrate sunlight by a factor of 1000, and the system operates at 50% efficiency, capturing 160 MW of heat energy per lens setup daily.
# Heat Transfer: - Hot Air Channeling: Design insulated ducts to capture and transport the hot air generated at the focal point to the silicon production facility, minimizing heat loss.
# Integration with Silicon Production: - Preheating Process: The hot air is used to preheat sand before it enters the furnace, reducing the energy required for the chemical reduction of silicon dioxide to silicon.

====== 1. Raw Material Processing: - Sand (silicon dioxide, SiO₂) and carbon are used as the primary raw materials for silicon production. - Preheated sand reduces the energy needed to reach the melting point and the required temperature for the reduction process. ======
# Energy Efficiency: - By integrating CSP, we save significant energy costs. Preheating with solar heat reduces the need for additional conventional energy sources.
