Energy supplies from renewable resources are intermittent. Clean electricity is available only when the sun is
shining or the wind is blowing. Storing energy requires costly batteries that are only useful for short durations. Offgrid PV and wind installations require backup generators to provide power around the clock under all weather
conditions. And neither PV nor wind produce heat, which is needed in many industrial applications and is harder to
decarbonize than electricity.
A Surprising Solution
247Solar Plants™ bridge the gap between conventional wind and solar and the need for round-the-clock utility
power and industrial-grade heat. 247Solar Plants store the sun’s energy as heat instead of electricity, for 9 hours or
more, at much less than the cost of batteries. No generators are required, and 247Solar’s turbines can also burn a
variety of fuels, including hydrogen, to ensure 24/7/365 dispatchability.
With technology originated at MIT, 247Solar Plants™ represent a distinctively new approach to solar power eneration. Engineered for low risk and long operating life, each modular 247Solar Plant provides 400kWe of electricity and 600kWth of heat, 24/7/365, while occupying only five acres of land. Yet, 247Solar Plants are scalable to meet any demand.
Extensive Applications
On-grid or off-grid, 247Solar Plants offer turnkey solutions for a broad range of applications:
• CHP: 24/7 low-carbon Combined Heat & Power for industry
• Ultra Heat: Each 247Solar Plant can provide up to 1,500,000 Btu/hr. of heat at temperatures up
1000℃/1800℉ for industrial processes such as cement, glass, steel making, or minerals processing
• Microgrids: Always-on, emissions-free electricity and heat for islands, mines, communities, facilities
• 24/7 baseload power: 24/7 solar electricity, especially for emerging economies
• Green Hydrogen: 24/7 solar electricity and heat to power electrolysis around the clock
• Green Desalination: 24/7 solar electricity and heat to purify water around the clock
