Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project

OverviewTechnologyHistoryProductionGalleryNotesExternal linksThe project''s EPC Contractor was ACS Cobra, which carried out the engineering design, procured the equipment and materials necessary, and then constructed and delivered the facility to Tonopah Solar Energy. The project includes 10,347 heliostats that collect and focus the sun''s thermal energy to heat molten salt flowing through an approximately 656-foot (200 m) tall solar power tower. Each heliostat is made up of 3
