Big Dish is an institutional scale solar concentrator developed by Sunrise CSP, whose chairman is Deepak Gadhia, the well known solar energy pioneer.
The Sunrise CSP team, with locations in India and Australia, concluded that institutional scale multi-collector systems could be simplified by employing a single large solar parabolic concentrator to create steam energy and solar-to-electric solutions. They call their system Big Dish. The company wishes to use this approach to pursue business opportunities on a global scale,, with current projects as of 2023 in India, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, China, and Cyprus.
The Muni Seva Ashram in Gujarat, India, will house the world’s largest Solar Concentrator with game changing technology. It requires only one-third of the space taken by Scheffler Dishes, but provides double the efficiency of the latter. Along with domestic needs such as cooking, air-conditioning, laundry; the Big Dish will also be used for sterilization purposes and a heat storage system in the form of pressurized water to provide steam for 1-2 hours during non-sunshine hours.
