The SST CPV System is based on a CPV module capable of delivering 1 kW or more of power with a nominal 250 suns input. Secondary optics increase concentration to the CPV cells to a nominal 1200 suns. Integrated power conversion and control, and its integrated liquid cooling heat exchanger provide modular full functionality.
Dishes and tower unit sizes can range from a few kW to 100 kW or more, by using the number of modules required and proper configuration of the collector optics and CPV receiver. Byproduct heat can be discarded if not needed, or it can be used for on-site thermal value which can accellerate the system payback.
- Integrated optics, power conversion and control for efficiency
- Advanced liquid cooling design for high reliability
- Byproduct heat up to 80C available for on-site use
