RayGen has hit a major international milestone with the deployment of our technology in Brazil.
Our 1MW PV Ultra system is fully operational at AXIA Energia’s site in Petrolina, showcasing our concentrated solar technology in one of the world’s fastest-evolving energy markets.
CEO Richard Payne said: “This is a proud moment for RayGen and for Australian innovation and advanced manufacturing. Our unique technology, which generates clean electricity and thermal energy, is being rolled out internationally.
“It has been a pleasure working with AXIA. Their commitment to innovation mirrors RayGen’s own values, and their forward-thinking approach to technology adoption is truly inspiring.”
The 1MW site showcases a standalone PV Ultra system, comprising a heliostat field, receiver tower, PV Ultra modules and plant control system. The site is used by AXIA Energia, formerly known as Eletrobras, to demonstrate innovative technologies under local conditions prior to their potential deployment at scale.
Juliano Dantas, Executive Vice President Technology and Innovation at AXIA Energia, said: “Pioneering this technology in Brazil opens up alternatives to combine renewable energy, energy storage, and inertia.
“It is about enabling solar generation driven by demand, with power quality, which is very much aligned with AXIA Energy’s philosophy of serving the market.
“We intend to further investigate how this system can help power AI factories. We are very excited to continue working with RayGen as the partnership has developed very well.”
