There are many exposed steel components on the solar array supports and HDG provides protection for the edges and corners as well as the inside of the tubular sections. The dishes are guaranteed to last at least 25 years and by utilizing galvanizing for corrosion protection, the dish supports will be maintenance free for decades exceeding the project’s life expectancy.

The system includes 430 state of the art dish collectors with parabolic mirrors that spread across 17 acres powered by a Stirling generator which converts the sun’s heat into electrical energy. They have two drives that move the dishes vertically and rotationally and are linked to the location by GPS enabling them to track the sun at all times.
