Reliable, Controllable, Stored Power. Dispatchable renewable energy. Vast Solar - Powering OvernightVast Solar
Vast Solar is an Australian technology company whose mission is to deliver utility scale renewable energy technology with the power to transform world energy systems. The company was established in 2009 to develop and commercialise new generation concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) technology. By using sodium as a heat transfer fluid, we've untapped the potential to develop a unique modular, small tower CSP system - and this systme unlocks considerable benefits in both cost and thermal and optical performance. Vast Solar's unique modular CSP system is now proven and operational at our CSP Pilot Plant (the 1MW Jemalong CSP Pilot Project) that is located at Jemalong in New South Wales. The fully completed Pilot Plant has operated continuously since early 2018 to the present. Vast Solar’s head office is located in Sydney and our team of nineteen employees work between Sydney, Jemalong and Brisbane.
