Guardian Industries announced that the company’s EcoGuard Solar Boost mirrors are being installed at the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System (ISEGS) in California‘s Mojave Desert. The project, a partnership between NRG Solar (a subsidiary of NRG Energy), Google, and BrightSource Energy, will nearly double the amount of solar thermal energy produced in the US.
"EcoGuard Solar Boost has been proven to withstand the extreme conditions found in the Mojave Desert," said Martin Bracamonte, vice president, Science & Technology, Guardian Flat Glass Group. "The technology used in manufacturing the glass gives it the extra edge in being a more durable and reliable resource to maximize capturing the sun’s energy for large-scale use."
