CAPITAL EFFICIENCY & SCALE UP
Scales more rapidly than batteries or PV, requiring significantly lower capital investment
How?
THE GAME CHANGER
Gigawatts (GW) with no new gigafactories
-
Massive worldwide factory capacity - today
-
Commodity steel fabrication & glass mirrors
-
Top-tier high-volume piston engine and turbine factories
-
No new, scarce, or toxic materials
-
No new processes
-
No new science
⇒ Just practical innovation and end-to-end systems engineering
RAPID SCALE UP,
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY
and LOWER COST
go HAND IN HAND
Scale Up
Rate
CRITICAL TO SCALE UP
Onsite construction time and labour
-
Modularization and end-to-end design for automation are the keys
-
Terrajoule’s Prefabricated Solar Concentrator achieves 10x the mirror area installed per labor hour vs. prior solar concentrators
