3D solar tower increases capacity factor 50%, triples solar surface area

Janta Power has secured $5.5 million in funding to develop its innovative vertical solar tower technology, currently being piloted at major global airports. These 3D solar towers offer high energy density for space-constrained areas and can be utilized in various applications like data centers, EV charging hubs, and industrial facilities. With a capacity factor 50% higher than traditional solar installations, the towers achieve a low levelized cost of electricity at $0.05 kWh. Their design allows for better alignment with energy demand and helps reduce stress on grids by providing smooth energy delivery throughout the day.
