Sunrise CSPSolar Mirror Panels (SMPs)

SHARE

Solar Mirror Panels (SMPs) are used to reflect sunlight onto the Receiver. If the Big Dish forms the core of Sunrise CSP’s technology, then SMPs are the essence. The accuracy and efficient design-for- mass-manufacture & installation delivers a low-cost optical system that supports a rapid and cost-efficient solar field deployment. Sunrise CSP owns the patents for SMPs.

  • Focal Accuracy
    Each panel is formed accurately with less than 1.5 mRad slope error. This means that every ray of sunshine captured is accurately delivered to the Receiver.
  • Highly Reflective
    The panels utilize the world-leading, low iron, thin (1mm) mirrored glass with over 94% reflectivity to deliver the maximum possible solar energy to the receiver.
  • Quality Control and Product Traceability
    Every SMP is tested using advanced photogrammetry measurement systems and is uniquely identified with a code. This code provides a lifetime link between field performance and the materials and production parameters of each SMP.
  • Low Unit Cost
    Designed for high volume automated production and installation, every SMP is the same size, shape, focal specification and material composition, delivering a low unit cost.
  • Optimized for Installation and O&M
    SMPs are installed directly onto the dish structure with no focal adjustment required at installation or throughout the life of the plant.
  • Structural Strength
    SMPs are a composite structure and a structural element, not a dead weight, so that each mirror panel contributes to the dish stiffness and reduces structural steel costs.
  • Low O & M
    SMPs are robust and durable with a target life of 30 years. They are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions caused by wind, dust, rain and hail. The Big Dish reflective surface is designed to support both automated and manual cleaning systems – strong enough to have a maintenance crew walk on them.
  • Total CSP Market Solution
    The focal length of SMPs is tuneable for a variety of CSP systems, through concentrators and heliostats, opening up opportunities for it to be used in alternative CSP systems.
