SunCatcher™ |
Break–Through Award Winner
 |
Popular Mechanics announced the SES SunCatcher™ technology as their 2008 Breakthrough Award winner, and was featured on the front cover of the November 2008 edition. This award signifies the SES SunCatcher™ as one of the top 10 world-changing innovations. |
SunCatcher™ |
Modular & Scalable
The modular design of the SunCatcher™ allows for significant advantages compared to other CSP systems. Each SunCatcher™ provides 25kW of electricity as it goes on line, allowing power plants to scale easily, cost-effectively and effectively become a ‘plug & play’ design, from 1.5MW to over 1,000MW. And, in the event, a component needs replacement, modular subsystems as replaced on site, as needed, with operations minimally impacted, requiring no wait times for parts or engines. The SunCatcher™ sets a new standard for modularity and scalability enabling large scale global commercialization and utility-scale deployment. |

SunCatcher™ |
Highest Solar-To-Electricity
Conversion Recorded
The SunCatcher™ Power System has earned the world’s highest recorded peak efficiency rating, 31.25%, for converting solar energy-to-grid quality electricity. This record was accomplished working in close cooperation and partnership with Sandia National Laboratories and the United States Department (DOE).
