Driving down the cost and pounds per kiloWatt (kW).
Revised plans to build a ~1 MW (MegaWatt) pilot power plant in 2010.
Cool Earth Solar CEO Rob Lamkin pitched the company at the 22nd National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) Industry Growth Forum last week in Denver, Colorado.
After the introduction, Mr. Lamkin said:
I am very excited about the Cool Earth Solar technology.
It was developed specifically and with the intent of further driving down the cost of solar and being able to ramp up and scale the business massively.

More from the Berkeley-Stanford CleanTech Conference on “Utility Scale Solar Power Generation” As I mentioned in GreenVolts at BIG Solar, I attended the 2nd Berkeley-Stanford CleanTech Conference, BIG Solar: “Utility Scale Solar Power Generation”, to also cover the participation of Cool Earth Solar (CES) on the "Innovations in Technology" panel.
There has been little news from CES since Cool Earth Solar attracts a Hot $21 Million in Series A Financing other than COOL EARTH SOLAR OPENS NEW HEADQUARTERS just before the conference.
