eSolar™ heliostats minimize a variety of costs. By leveraging established commercial suppliers to mass manufacture thousands of heliostats,
eSolar realizes economy-of-scale benefits at much smaller power plant sizes than traditional solar generation technologies. We designed the heliostats for
pre-assembly at the factory and to fit efficiently into shipping containers to reduce transportation costs and on-site labor. These design and manufacturing
efficiencies result in astonishing construction times, which allow for significant savings in assembly and operating costs. |
eSolar has designed a new solar field layout to minimize installation time and cost.
By employing a repeating structure and a revolutionary calibration system, eSolar has eliminated the need for
high-precision surveying, delicate installation, and individual alignment of mirrors. Minimal skilled labor is
needed to build the solar field, allowing for mirror deployment efficiencies that scale with project size and deadlines.
From permitting to construction, plants come on line quickly to meet customer needs.
eSolar's modular power plant architecture revolves around a tiered delivery model that minimizes supply constraints.
eSolar™ power plants are built in units as small as 33 MW, with each unit consisting of thirteen modules of thermal receivers and dual
north-south heliostat fields. These 33 MW units can be replicated as necessary to fit specific power requirements,
constructed either in series to continuously meet long term energy goals or in parallel to deliver large amounts of solar energy quickly. |
