Odeillo solar furnace is a science research facility located in Fort-Romeu-Odeillo-Via in the south of France. At 54 m (177 ft) tall and 48 m (157 ft) wide, it is the world’s largest solar furnace.

The furnace was built between 1962 and 1968, and became operational in 1970, being used to study materials at very high temperatures.

The furnace is a large concave mirror measuring nearly 2,000 sq. m, which bounces sunlight onto a small focal point, acting as a parabolic reflector. This reaches temperatures of over 3,000 oC (5,430 F). Opposite the mirror are 10,000 flat mirrors that reflect the sun’s rays onto the mirror.

This energy is used for several different purposes, including melting steel, generating electricity via a steam turbine, making hydrogen fuel, testing re-entry materials for space vehicles, and performing high-temperature metallurgic experiments.
