247SOLAR PLANT
The 247Solar Plant™ is a Clean Technology Breakthrough
247Solar Plants™ are true third-generation concentrated solar power (CSP) products that use a breakthrough solar receiver design, a proprietary thermal storage system and a unique turbine, combined with other proven technologies and off-the-shelf components, to produce the world’s lowest-cost 24/7 solar electricity.
Pathway to 100% clean power
With a revolutionary turbine that generates electricity without steam or combustion, plus up to 20 hours of inexpensive thermal storage, 247Solar Plants™ and HeatStorE™ batteries can operate emissions free up to 90% of the time. When there is no sunlight and their thermal storage is exhausted, they can also burn a variety of fuels, including biofuels and ultimately green hydrogen, providing a clear path to 100% ZERO CARBON.
