Design and construction of Hawaii's largest solar energy system are described. The project was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and the State of Hawaii and was designed and constructed by Acurex Corporation. The system generates 35 kW of DC power at 1,000 W/sqm insolation. The major subsystems are the collector field, thermal energy subsystem, and electrical power generation. The photovoltaic (PV) collector field consists of 4,800 sq ft of parabolic linear focus concentrators. The linear receiver is populated with PV cells and is actively cooled. Project construction is complete and the system is currently being commissioned.
