Southwest Solar Technology

Using two-axis tracking to point directly to the sun at all times these dishes provide maximum output throughout the year, particularly in non-summer months when the sun is low in the sky. The SST CPV dish uses water cooling, circulated in a closed loop to a radiator, like an engine cooling system. This is dry-air cooled and does not consume water, increasing efficiency. The SST Dish is well suited for Direct Thermal applications, where any temperature can be efficiently produced up to the limits of the selected working thermal fluid (water, oil etc.)
