2 The Chromasun MCT System
2.1 Background
The Chromasun High-Temperature Thermal Collector System consists of two (2) major
components: The MCT High-Temperature Collector (MCT-HT); and the Solar Field Controller.
An MCT installation will typically consist of many SFC units connected to one or more Solar Field
Controllers. Each SFC can support up to 40 MCTs (4 strings of 10 units each).
These two components combine to provide an active tracking collector system that is able to
provide consistent thermal energy up to 200°C (400°F).
