Originated at MIT, 247Solar PlantsTM represent the first distinctively new approach to solar power in many years. Their modular, scalable CSP technology offers up to 20 hours of inexpensive thermal storage, operating temperatures of 970°C and potentially higher, and capacity factors approaching 90%. In addition to 24/7 electricity, industrial-grade heat is available for ultra-high temperature combined heat and power (CHP) applications.
The 247Solar MicrogridTM combines 247Solar Plants with PV or wind plus batteries to create an economically optimal off-grid solution for continuous clean electricity without diesel gensets. 247Solar Plants supply constantly changing loads with highly responsive baseload power. PV, wind, and batteries provide power for variable loads. 247Solar's turbines can burn a variety of fuels if needed, eliminating the need for diesel gensets and reducing fuel costs 70-90%.
