A Commitment to Sustainability

Tessera Solar International and Tessera Solar North America are sister companies of Stirling Energy Systems (SES), the manufacturing company behind the SunCatcher™ Solar Dish Stirling System. Tessera Solar™ is the exclusive development arm for the SunCatcher™ technology and works in an intergrated approach to asset development with SES to deliver solar energy solutions that meet the growing global demand for renewable energy.

Tessera Solar and SES are part of the NTR portfolio of companies, a leading global developer and operator of renewable energy and sustainable waste management assets. NTR offers renewable energy and sustainable waste management solutions that promote energy security and independence and create economic growth in a diverse set of international markets.

A $100 Million Investment

After an extensive analysis of the renewable energy industry which identified strategic growth opportunities, NTR identified SES and its break-through SunCatcher™ technology as a leader in the Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) sector. Following this review, NTR invested $100 million to build the new company and accelerate the SunCatcher’s™ entry to market.

"When NTR plc invested $100M in SES Inc. in May 2008, our vision was there would naturally be two different organizational entities. A global manufacturing company, SES, responsible for utility scale commercialization of the breakthrough SunCatcher™ Solar Dish Stirling System technology; and, a Project Development organization, with global reach, responsible for sourcing and execution of large-scale SunCatcher™ projects."
