Solel Solar Systems Ltd. ((ヘブライ語:סולל)) was an Israeli solar thermal equipment designer and manufacturer based in Beit Shemesh, Israel. Solel made equipment for solar thermal power plants, facilities that used the sun's heat to create steam and turn an electricity generator. In 2007, Solel signed a contract with Pacific Gas & Electric to supply 553 MW from its planned Mojave Solar Park, California. The parabolic trough project was cancelled in 2011. In a joint venture with the Spanish Valoriza Energía, Solel planned a parabolic-trough plant in Spain. After three years of construction, one of originally three 50-MW units started operation in December 2011.〔NREL: (''Concentrating Solar Power Projects'' ), 2012.〕 In October 2009, Siemens signed a $418-million contract to buy Solel Solar Systems. As part of the deal, Siemens committed itself to leave the company headquarters and some of its manufacturing facilities in Israel for at least five years. Three years later, in an environment of plunging prices for photovoltaic power generation, Siemens announced plans to sell off the subsidiary,〔(The Big Solar Sell-Off: Siemens Puts Solel On The Block, Forbes, 10/22/2012, retrieved 02/05/2013 )〕 without success. In 2013, Siemens gave up its solar business.〔Handelsblatt: (''Vergebliche Käufersuche, Siemens schliesst seine Solarsparte'' ), June 17, 2013.〕 ==See also== *Solar power in Israel 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「Solel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
