Solar generated energy has long been an under-used natural resource. However, with worldwide pressures to develop greener power alternatives, there has been a recent surge in solar technologies. Headlining this push is eSolar, a US company which provides utility-scale solar power generation facilities. eSolar applies mass production techniques to create a unique power plant architecture that is flexible, powerful, and affordable. Considering the unique design of eSolar’s stations, there was a need to focus on developing an intuitive system that could address, communicate with, and control each individual mirror among the thousands of mirrors installed in a typical power plant. As a result, eSolar needed to develop a multifaceted, compact digital controller that could drive motors and manage power and communications with several mirrors, all over a proprietary communication channel.
