Optimized for Performance, Modularity & Cost
The SunCatcher™ is the most efficient solar to grid quality electric system. The power conversion process consumes no water, as is required by other solar thermal generating platforms. The only water consumed by the SunCatcher™ is for washing the mirrors. Thousands of SunCatchers™ constitute a single power plant, making projects modular and scalable, with the potential for distributed generation as well. During the construction phase, installed units will start producing power while the remainder of the project is completed. Maintenance will be undertaken on individual units while the vast majority of the units remain online; the result is high overall availability.
The high-volume manufacturing production model provides the following competitive advantage:
 |
SOLAR COST LEADER
Low Cost Solar Power Solution. |
 |
HIGHEST SOLAR-TO-GRID ELECTRIC EFFICIENCY
Record-setting 31.25% Sun-to-Grid Electricity Conversion. |
 |
LOWEST WATER USE
A Fraction vs Competition. Critical Cost, Siting and Regulatory Advantages. |
 |
MODULAR DESIGN
Flexible plant sizes from 25MW to 1,000MW+. |
 |
PRODUCTION READY (2010)
Low-Cost Production. |
 |
MINIMAL LAND DISTURBANCE
5 % Slope Tolerance. No Excavation. Minimal Grading. Limited Roads. |
 |
PROVEN ENGINE TECHNOLOGY
Unrivaled Testing & Validation |
 |
HIGHEST ON-SUN AVAILABILITY
