A solar water heater weighing 2,200 tons on the top of the tower in the compound was raised to a final height of 250 meters. New Video Shows Ashalim Construction Progress | September 25, 2017 Israel’s first CSP plant - the 121 MW Ashalim facility featuring BrightSource’s technology – is rising in the Negev desert. Check out the newest video showing construction progress to date, including the incredible, 200-meter lift of the 2,200 metric ton solar receiver to the top of the tower. Raising the Lifetime of Functional Materials for CSP | May 17, 2017 BrightSource to participate in a one-day workshop called "Raising the Lifetime of Functional Materials for Concentrated Solar Power Technology." Hosted by RAISELIFE, the workshop will be held at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, in Spain on 17th of May 2017. For more information, click here. Solar: the giant of the desert | April 10, 2017 An ocean of mirrors, set in the middle of the Israeli desert, with in its center the largest solar tower in the world, as high as the Montparnasse tower in Paris. With its futuristic basic airs, the Ashalim power plant is a unique technical feat. A project that foreshadows what the solar energy of tomorrow will be. CSP tower installation costs drop on heliostat innovations, pre-assembly | March 8, 2017 Innovative heliostat designs, smart software, and pre-assembly installation methods are cutting material and labor costs while competitive tenders are pressuring supply margins, industry experts said. Exploring Ivanpah: Its Power and its People | February 8, 2017 This month the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating Station enters its fourth year of producing clean energy for California’s electricity grid. For Ivanpah’s third anniversary, facility operator NRG Energy shared four short films that primarily capture a snapshot of the 65-person Operations team. Generation at Ivanpah ‘Improved Dramatically,’ NRG Says | February 2, 2017 The world’s biggest solar-thermal power plant is finally producing enough electricity. After fine-tuning the complex facility that uses 170,000 mirrors, output is up and it’s no longer at risk of defaulting on the deal, according to David Knox, a spokesman for operator and co-owner NRG Energy Inc. “The forbearance is over,” Knox said. “We have met all the requirements.” Israel builds world's tallest solar thermal tower in Negev Desert | January 10, 2017 Rising from the desert landscape what will be the world’s tallest solar thermal tower. It is still under construction 250 meters high in the Negev Desert. The project is made up of three plots, with a fourth planned for the future, each with a different solar technology. The centerpiece is the solar tower. Israel harnessing sunshine with world's tallest solar tower | January 4, 2017 In sunny Israel, solar energy supplies only a small percentage of the nation's power needs, leaving it far behind countries with cloudier and colder climates. Now the fledgling solar industry is trying to make a leap forward with a large-scale project boasting the world's tallest solar tower, as a symbol of Israel's renewal energy ambitions. Another Great Opportunity for a Pioneer of Solar Thermal Power | October 24, 2016 CSP PLAZA interviews BrightSource Energy’s Executive Vice President Israel Kroizer, who helped to commercialize CSP technology in the 1980s. Mr. Kroizer, who has witnessed the CSP industry’s many technology and market changes over the years, discusses a range of issues relating to solar thermal power, including the evolution from parabolic trough to tower technology, the importance of precise control of the solar field and molten salt storage.
