Fourth-generation concentrator system: From the lab to the factory to the field
- ENTECH, Inc., Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, TX (United States)
In the May 1993 IEEE PVSC paper, the authors described improvements in manufacturing technology which the authors team was developing to mass-produce their new fourth-generation concentrator module. In the past 18 months, they have completed the development of this new module. They are currently producing over 600 modules of the new type, equivalent to more than 250 kW of rates power output. Most of these modules are presently being deployed in two utility-scale power plants owned by the two largest utility companies in Texas: (i) a 100 kW system near Ft. Davis, Texas, at the Solar Park being developed by Central and South West (C and SW); and (ii) a 100 kW system near Dallas, Texas, at the Energy Park being developed by TU Electric (TUE). Thus, the module technology the authors described at the last PVSC has progressed from the laboratory to the factory floor to the field.
