Maricopa Solar has now officially been online with all 60 SunCatchers | Stirling Energy Systems

Editor's Note: GBDS.US has a deep history as an advocate for renewable energy and sustainable development including one of our founders raising angel funds for Stirling Energy System over a decade ago – now fully capitalized and building the two largest solar thermal power plants in the world in southern California in 2010.

Press Release: December 23rd, 2009

We started bringing dishes on sun shortly after 11am via laptops at each Dish Group. Once each unit was on closed-loop tracking control of it was transferred over to the SCADA system. At 12.30 we put the 60th dish on sun and were generating 1,058kW. We ran the field for a full hour and hit a peak output of 1.12MW. we then successfully took the field back off sun one dish group at a time using the SCADA system to put dishes back into windstow. This was achieved with dirty mirrors, DNI of approximately 850 Wm2 and maximum shading due to sun position so the outlook of hitting our performance targets under standardized operating conditions looks very positive. Its also worth mentioning that the controls software, SCADA and Hydrogen systems all performed as expected on the day.

This is a very significant milestone and I want to thank everyone involved across all the teams and from both Tessera Solar and SES for the enormous push over the last few months to get this over the line before the end of the year.

Well done everyone – now we can really relax and enjoy the break!!

Anatomy of a Power Purchase Agreement | Greentech Media

But if you want to enter a power purchase agreement (PPA) to finance a solar system on a commercial or residential roof, there is no standard document and there is no standard entry point -- you can get the PPA through a variety of integrators or through a PPA firm. Doug Payne, the Executive Director of SolarTech, and his organization are driven to improve this situation, as well as to accelerate the entire solar installation process. He led a panel today at an Agrion event that explored the anatomy of a power purchase agreement
