The partners plan to build at least two gigawatts of CSP plants in China over the next 10 years.

US$5.4 million grant for researchers investigating advanced concepts in concentrating solar power.

The plant can generate electricity ‘on demand’ from solar energy, including 24/7 operation.

The system is capable of producing 25 kW of electrical power from any low grade heat (82.2°C).

CPV is still at a nascent stage; and its long-term success depends on its performance and reliability.

Materials devised by university research may be integrated into new utility-scale power plants worldwide.

It is used to create steam, solar thermal air conditioning, drying, dehumidification, desalination, and hot water.

The project is designed to generate 250 megawatts of concentrating solar power (CSP).
