Southwest Solar Technologies has announced that it has completed initial development of the Southwest Solar Research Park in Phoenix, Arizona. The 18-acre, state-of-the-art, secured facility is located just south of Sky Harbor Airport.

The focal point of the facility, a 75 foot diameter concentrating solar dish, is visible to commuters as they cross the Salt River along Interstate 10.

The Research Park is designed to serve as a world class center for renewable energy research and innovation.

The Solar Research Park provides the Company's engineers and development partners with abundant sunlight and field space to operate and evaluate new solar technology.

The site offers convenient access to the city's universities and tech industry base because it is located on a major arterial in a major metropolitan area.

"The Company is in discussions with other renewable energy businesses to co-locate at the park to promote collaboration and make land available for testing or demonstration projects," said CEO Brad Forst. Potential collaborators could include universities, private companies, and government-sponsored projects.

"This is an important milestone for our company," stated Herb Hayden, Chief Technical Officer. "The facility combines our operational headquarters with a uniquely placed research and development complex for others that are seeking to advance solar technology."
