BIRD’S EYE VIEW — The Gen 3 Particle Pilot Plant will be the first to demonstrate an integrated system for particle-based concentrated solar power. The plant is expected to begin testing in the next quarter, starting with cold-flow testing of particles to demonstrate the conveyance systems. On-sun testing is expected to begin this summer. (Photo by Craig Fritz)
