Unique Stellio Heliostat Solar Project Goes Online in China
Among the globe's initial molten salt tower focused solar energy (CSP) projects that utilizes a "Stellio" heliostat was grid-connected at the end of December in China's Xinjiang district near the Mongolian boundary. The 50-MW Hami pilot project established by Chinese state-owned firm China Power Engineering Consulting Group notes a significant turning point for the unique heliostat layout, which went from idea to building in a simple 5 years.
