Formerly known as Solar Storage Company, Terrajoule Corporation develops a technology that was originally designed to reduce energy costs for industry and agriculture. The technology is used in off-grid mines, industrial plants, pipelines, military bases, small and large industrial grids, agricultural sector, rural electrification, island power, utility dispatchable power, waste heat recovery. The approach introduces a category in industrial power: Distributed Generation with Storage (DG-S). 24 hour/day solar power generation. Novel thermal storage technology breakthrough - 1/10th cost of batteries, >25-year life, non-degrading. Storage medium: pressurized hot water. Robust solar thermal at 100kW to 10MW scale. Uses reciprocating steam engines, not turbines. Variable, controllable - performs like a diesel genset. Much better ROI than PV+batteries. Terrajoule solar power generates electricity on demand 24/7, with a storage breakthrough less than 1/5th the cost of batteries, 1 MW and up.
