A closed-loop architecture concentrates sunlight, moves heat with helium, stores it in sand and dispatches it whenever energy is needed.
01
Concentrate
Silver-coated parabolic reflectors concentrate sunlight onto a compact receiver.
02
Transfer
Helium carries high-temperature heat through a patented dual-pipe network.
03
Store
Solid-state sand storage preserves heat for use after sunset.
04
Generate
Stored heat supplies industrial processes or drives turbines day and night.
Integrated by design
- Patented dual piping system
- Patented multi-layer vacuum insulation
- Operation at temperatures up to 1,100°C
- Low-cost sand heat storage
- Automated cleaning and dust protection
- Scalable, recyclable plant components
Why helium and sand?
Helium is stable across the operating temperature range and avoids chemical reactions with steel piping. High-temperature operation makes widely available sand practical as a low-cost solid-state storage medium.
