Wireless & Autonomous Heliostats

Our heliostats communicate wirelessly with the SFINCS via Access Points distributed throughout the field. Our proprietary protocol is designed for robustness and reliability, and of course secured by encryption. The SFINCS uses roaming to ensure no heliostat loses contact. The heliostats have autonomous power, generating and storing their own power for all their movements. Autonomous power and wireless communications add up to much lower solar field construction costs and time, as well as operational benefits from autonomous emergency responses.
