Solar Systems (company)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solar Systems is a leader in high concentration solar photovoltaic applications,[1][2] and the company is preparing to build the world's largest heliostat concentrator photovoltaic (HCPV) Solar power station in Victoria, Australia.[3][4] This project will use innovative heliostat concentrator technology.
Solar Systems has already completed construction of three concentrator dish power stations in the Northern Territory, which together generate 720kW and 1,555,000 kWh per year. This represents a saving of 420,000 litres of diesel fuel and 1550 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.[5]
In 2003 Solar Systems completed construction of the first concentrator dish power station at Umuwa in South Australia.[6]
Solar Systems is a winner in the 2005 Engineering Excellence Awards.[7]
