eSolar, founded in 2007, develops, constructs and deploys modular and scalable solar thermal power plants. eSolar's technology aims to marry a low-impact, pre-fabricated form factor with advanced optics and computer software engineering to meet the demands of utilities of any size for clean, renewable and cost-competitive solar energy. eSolar is based in Pasadena, California.
eSolar's Process and Technology
eSolar's Power Tower Technology is a field of sun-tracking heliostats that 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. Then the plant pipes the steam from each thermal receiver and aggregates it at the turbine, powering a power generator. Finally, the steam reverts back to water through cooling, and the process repeats.
