SolarReserve is a privately held, venture-backed renewable energy company based in Santa Monica, California. SolarReserve was initially founded in early 2008 by US Renewables Group in partnership with United Technologies Corporation (UTC). UTC's subsidiary Rocketdyne provides and guarantees the performance of the major solar component hardware, and SolarReserve holds the exclusive worldwide license to develop concentrating solar power plants using Rocketdyne technology. Rocketdyne developed the solar receiver for the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar One and Solar Two projects, and has significant technology and operating expertise in extreme heat flux environments (rocket engines) and the use of molten metals and salts (Sodium and sodium-potassium alloy NaK cooled nuclear reactors). In September 2008 the company raised an additional $140 million in a Series B funding.〔Kho, Jennifer.

The company develops utility-scale concentrating solar power plants with integrated molten salt thermal storage technology. == See also == * Concentrating solar power * Energy storage * List of concentrating solar thermal power companies * List of energy storage projects 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SolarReserve」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
