eSolar, a producer of modular, scalable solar thermal power plants, recently announced an exclusive licensing agreement with the ACME Group, a leader in the field of energy, environmental and telecommunications infrastructure solutions in India, to build up to 1,000 MW of solar thermal power plants over the next 10 years. eSolar names ACME as a master licensee of its modular, scalable technology and grants the company the exclusive right to represent eSolar in India developing its own utility-scale solar thermal projects and working with other companies that want to build solar thermal power plants in India using eSolar technology. The agreement combines both companies’ resources to enable complete project capabilities, ranging from technology development and component manufacturing to power plant construction and operation.
Additionally, ACME will make a $30 million equity investment in eSolar.
“eSolar has produced the first solar energy that is competitive with fossil fuels,” said Bill Gross, CEO of eSolar. “ACME’s $30 million commitment demonstrates their confidence in eSolar’s technology. We are committed to working with the very best partners, such as ACME, to scale deployment as quickly as possible around the world.”

This partnership represents eSolar’s first international licensing agreement. As a master licensee, ACME will build, own and operate solar thermal plants in India using eSolar’s modularand scalable design and will work with other companies to build solar thermal power plants in India using eSolar technology. ACME has already signed power purchase MOUs (Memoranda of Understanding) for 250 MW. Construction will start later this year on the first 100 MW of eSolar power plants, and ACME is targeting 1,000 MW of solar power within India over the next 10 years. This deal builds on eSolar’s recently announced partnership with and $10 million equity investment from NRG Energy, Inc. to construct 500 MW in the United States.
“The eSolar system addresses obstacles that have previously plagued solar installations and presents a viable, cost-effective alternative that can scale quickly to meet India’s growing energy needs,” said Manoj Upadhyay, Chairman and CEO of the ACME Group.
Commenting on the deal, ACME COO Atul Sabharwal added, “eSolar’s technology platform fits in perfectly with our core mission to develop and deliver products that save energy, support the environment and can be deployed quickly and easily. Our partnership with eSolar is a milestone toward both companies’ goal of delivering solar power that is cost-competitive with fossil fuel based energy.”

I would like to know eSolar would be interested to go on Jointure for similar
projects in Pakistan.
Wind and solar combined can not produce the energy we are now getting from oil so what do we do next-?
What are the highest energy producing systems that you have used?

I’m a homeowner and our average monthly bill is around $125 give or take $25. I’d love to install a wind turbine if it would work efficiently and cut our costs. I have no clue and would like to avoid days of research and defer to a professional if it is viable cost wise to try this project. I know there may be green grants or special financing available but again have no clue about total costs, pay back venues such as years to return investment and options for even more then one turbine. We are in a bit of a forced wind tunnel because of wall and home placement so we have abundant resources. Any heads up information would be very helpful.
I have surfed the net more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s worth enough for me. Thanks.
I love the way you sound so passionate about what you are writing. Keep up the great work!
