HelioFocus signed a project agreement to launch a Solar Dish field in Inner Mongolia, China, applying the company's most advanced technology. The China Orion Project (IM) is a Boosting project comprising three main phases.
During the 1st phase of the project a 1MW solar field is scheduled to operate by mid 2013.The 2nd planned to operate by end of 2014, will be 10MW and the 3rd phase is 60MW scheduled to operate by end of 2015 as boosting for a coal power plant. The project’s civil works – ground works and foundations are at an advanced stage to be finalized by end of Nov 2012.
HelioFocus, founded in 2007, is developing a full system solution for providing solar heat using air as a heat transfer fluid. The company’s product comprises a unique receiver located at the focal of a large parabolic dish that reflects sun rays onto it. The receiver converts the sun rays into hot air, which is then used for a variety of applications.
Heat applications are well known in the renewable solar field. The company focuses on boosting existing power plants with solar heat as a market penetration strategy. Additionally, the company is developing solutions for Full stand alone power station and distributed power generation & CHP to be implemented at later stage.
