REAL COMMUNITIES

Real Communities is Real Philanthropies' first community project that will bring affordable housing to the Greater Nashville area. Our 1st phases will include building 200 homes, offices, and a private school in our community. All homes a 5 MW Solar Farm will offset the electric cost. will be offset by a 5 MW Solar Farm.

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

Solar Energy
With the current level of incentives that the US provides for solar power, each community that Real Holdings Enterprises builds will incorporate an alternative energy supply to offset skyrocketing power costs.
Real Philanthropy is working with West Tennessee Solar Farm and Efficient Energy of Tennessee to provide an economical solution for our economic development efforts.
Real Philanthropy is working with eSolar to bring dispatchable solar power to rural communities around the world. Dispatchable solar power
Highly customization flux distributions for even heating
Modular towers offer customizable capacity factor
Steam generated can be used in any application
How it Works: Molten Salt Plant

The Solar Collector and Receiver System
Cold salt (350°C) flows from the cold tank to the tower
Reflected sunlight heats the salt flowing through the tower to 565°C
Hot salt returns to the hot tank for storage

Power Generation
Hot salt flows from the hot tank to the steam generator
The steam generator transfers heat from the salt to water to make steam
The salt flows back to the cold tank

Molten Salt Storage Works

TThe eSolar molten salt system is based on a 50-MWt module composed of a tower-mounted molten salt receiver surrounded by a heliostat field utilizing eSolar's small heliostat technology. This basic thermal module can be replicated, without scaling or redesign, as many times as required to create plant sizes from 50 to 200 MWe with capacity factors ranging from 20 to 75%. This building block approach allows us to address a broad range of customer requirements without significant redesign from peaker plants to base-load power plants.
Molten salt thermal energy storage is the most economical method to store solar energy and results in the lowest cost of electricity from a renewable energy source that is firm and dispatchable. Molten salt is a mixture of readily available and naturally occurring salts used in the agricultural business as fertilizer and thus inexpensive. Compared to a similar solar PV system with the same amount of storage and annual production, molten salt power towers are an order of magnitude less expensive.
