eSolar Launches the Only Solar Power Tower Plant in the US

eSolar unveiled the Sierra SunTower facility on August 5, heralding a new era of low-cost solar energy. To commemorate this landmark, eSolar CEO Bill Gross was joined by Dan Kammen, Professor in the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California, Berkeley; Dan Reicher, Director of Climate and Energy Initiatives at Google.org; and David Myers, Executive Director of The Wildlands Conservancy.

Sierra SunTower will supply 5 MW of clean, renewable energy to the grid. The full-scale power plant, the only one of its kind in the US, produces electricity for Southern California Edison (SCE) and will power up to 4,000 homes. We invite you to share in this company milestone.
