HOUSTON, TEXAS—GE Energy announced today that it has entered into an investment and licensing agreement with California-based eSolar that enables GE (NYSE: GE) to deploy Integrated Solar Combined Cycle (ISCC) technology to customers worldwide.
BURBANK, Calif. and SINGAPORE. eSolar, the leading provider of modular, scalable concentrating solar thermal power plant technology, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Flextronics (Nasdaq: FLEX) for design services relating to next generation heliostats and solar collector systems.
Power Tower Technology A field of sun-tracking heliostats reflects solar heat to a thermal receiver mounted atop a central power tower. The focused heat boils water within the thermal receiver and produces steam. The plant pipes the steam from each thermal receiver and aggregates it at the turbine, powering a power generator. The steam then [...]
