    SRP and Tessera to Build 1.5MW Solar Project in Peoria,AZ

    DateFriday, August 21, 2009 at 1:56PM

    It's a demonstation project designed to show the potential of a very interesting flavor of Concentrating Solar Thermal power generation. Tessera is partnered with Stirling Energy Systems and they use a large mirrored dish to concentrate the sun's heat on a relatively small Stirling engine, to generate up to 25,000 watts of electricity per dish. It will be located:

    on about 12 acres next to SRP’s Agua Fria Generating Station in Peoria. It will be the first grid-tied application of the Stirling Energy System’s SunCatcher device

    This Biz Journal article has the full details.

    Tessera is based in Houston with offices in Scottsdale. Stirling Energy is based in Phoenix.  Stirling has also submitted a bid to generate power on a retired landfill in Phoenix.
