A Sustainable, Global Solution
Beginning a Journey
The amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth’s surface in one hour is enough to power the globe for an entire year. So it is no surprise that Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is generating such interest around the world and emerging as one of the most efficient, reliable, and cost-effective sources of renewable energy.
While vast amounts of energy reach the Earth’s surface each hour, harnessing this energy requires a breakthrough solution. A solution that is more affordable. A solution that is big enough to meet tomorrow’s power needs but modular enough to deliver predictable power today.
The SunCatcher™
The SunCatcher™ is that breakthrough solution. The SunCatcher™ is a solar dish system that automatically tracks the sun throughout the day and focuses the solar energy on a Power Conversion Unit (PCU) which generates electricity. It is a proven technology with a successful operating record of over 20 years that has consistently achieved the world’s highest efficiency for converting solar thermal energy to grid-quality electricity.
The SunCatcher™ offers an innovative modular design that is easily deployed and cost–effectively scaled. The modular design enables a wide-range of build-out possibilities, as each SunCatcher™ provides 25kW of concentrating solar power, which means Tessera Solar power plants can be built from 25MW to over 1,000MW in manageable phases. Now, utilities and power producers are able to scale easily, cost-effectively, and efficiently in accordance with their specific need. The SunCatcher™ sets a new standard for efficiency, ,modularity and scalability enabling a new era of commercialization and utility-scale deployment for solar thermal power.
