Coverage focused in particular on Axia's R$20 million investment to demonstrate and validate how RayGen’s PV Ultra system can be used in the data centre industry, particularly cooling.
The CRESP site in Petrolina is used by Axia to demonstrate innovative technologies. It showcases a standalone 1MW PV Ultra system, comprising a heliostat field, receiver tower, PV Ultra modules and plant control system.
RayGen will continue working alongside Axia Energia to explore further applications of PV Ultra in one of the world's most dynamic energy markets, with additional deployments expected as the data centre opportunity develops.
