Hawaii Demonstration Project Still Pumping Solar Thermal Energy

The Sopogy Concentrating Solar Power Plant, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, produces enough electricity to power the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority and push plenty of power back onto the grid as well. The 125 kilowatts of power the Concentrating Solar Power plant produces is just a fraction of the 500 kilowatts the solar thermal array could produce, said plant operator Dean Towle. Presently, the generator the plant uses can only produce 125 kilowatts. It's been noted, however, that Sopogy could install three more generators and increase the output.
