Headrick Solar-Voltaic Dome(TM) Power Station

Commercial Development Financial Analysis Will Use Developer's Code of Highest and Best Use of Land. The Headrick Solar-Voltaic Dome(TM) Power Station provides dual use of leasable building in addition to power generation. Energy value will vary according to climate of building location. In Irvine, California a 200 foot dome array will produce around 2 MWh a day approximately 300 days a year with a photovoltaic surface having an efficiency to produce 12.5 Watts SF.

Three International Mainstream Deployment Programs for BI-PV.
