PA Group has reduced Production Costs of SolarReseve heliostat by 20%

reduce We helped SolarReserve’s heliostat production costs by 20% SolarReserve www.paconsulting.com COST REDUCTION SolarReserve, LLC, is a US based renewable energy company that develops large scale concentrated solar power energy projects for sites that have between 15,000 to 20,000 heliostats. These large mirrors track the sun and reflect sunlight from more than one million square metres of glass, ultimately generating the energy to drive a turbine. The company was at the early prototype stage in its heliostat development and needed to improve its design to achieve commercial, high volume production at a competitive cost, and to establish the entire supply chain for its projects. Leveraging PA’s expertise in developing products for high volume production, we provided advice on the heliostat design and specification. We also developed a concept design for the fabrication and assembly processes, equipment and required facilities, maintaining a constant focus on the critical issue of cost. Our procurement experts identified a range of assembly partners and critical component suppliers and facilitated the tender process to 01307-11 P0084 help SolarReserve and their technology partners identify and agree the right suppliers. As a result, the PA team were able to help the company reduce costs by 20% per heliostat field. www.paconsulting.com
