The project consists of a 56 kWp grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) system with an integrated 80 kWh battery storage solution, designed for self-consumption and backup power during outages and load
The suspended solar power generation system is disposed in the high sky, so the power generation efficiency is greatly improved, and the system has the advantage of not occupying the...
HOW DOES IT WORK? wer system that SSPIDR is developing will use a novel “sandwich tile”. The tile collects solar energy in space via photovoltaic cells, converts the solar energy i to Radio Frequency
Our patented technology allows unparalleled versatility, enabling PV arrays to be supported at virtually any height over spans of up to 410 feet/125 meters.
The suspended silicon solar cells, which have been replaced with traditional microstrip patches and work as antennas within the design, are able to receive and transmit the EM signals

The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a concentrated solar thermal plant located in the Mojave Desert at the base of Clark Mountain in California, across the state line from Primm, Nevada. It was slated to close in 2026, but that decision has been reversed by the California Public Utilities Commission. The facility derives its name from its proximity to Ivanpah, California, which lies within the Mojave National Preserve
The Skysun Solar Pollinator is designed to be suspended above plants that thrive in partial shade, and it can generate up to two kilowatts of power. The suspended design was validated
A working prototype has been presented which incorporates a battery management system, automatic power on and off, low-power sleep mode, and first-person-view (FPV) camera.
