listen to Rhone Resch, President of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) talk about the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E)-Stirling Energy Systems (SES) deal and its national and global implications

As discussed in "Ed Van Herik, spokesperson for San Diego Gas & Electric, talks about big solar-thermal deal with Sterling Energy Systems, says that solar power is now 'suddenly competitive'," San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) yesterday signed the second of two big solar energy deals recently won by Phoenix-based Stirling Energy Systems.

To assess the importance and implications of this deal for the future of solar energy in the U.S. and worldwide, Etopia Media's Solar World spoke this afternoon with Rhone Resch, President of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), about this agreement and what it means.

listen to Robert Liden at SES explain how "solar-thermal" energy generation works

For a detailed explanation of the technology involved in the "solar-thermal" units that will be supplying the power that SDG&E will be buying from Stirling Energy Systems, you can listen to two interviews with Robert Liden, EVP and General Manager at Stirling Energy Systems, in which he discusses how they works and talks about a similar agreement recently signed between his company and Southern California Edison (SCE) to also provide them with electricity from SES's solar-thermal electricity-generating systems.

To do that, you can click on the title of the August 12, 2005, interview with Robert Liden, "Robert Liden, EVP and General Manager at Stirling Energy Systems, talks about its deal with Southern California Edison to build and operate the world's largest solar energy facility" and/or the title of the August 17, 2005, interview with him, " Robert Liden, EVP and General Manager at Stirling Energy Systems, talks about the global potential of solar-generated electricity and hydrogen".
