Wizard Power
Wizard Power Pty Ltd a former Australian company headquartered in Canberra, focused on solar technology research, development, and commercialization. One of their notable achievements was the creation of the Big Dish solar thermal concentrator, recognized as the world's largest and highest-performing paraboloidal dish solar concentrator. This innovative technology had the capability to generate temperatures exceeding 1,200°C, enabling applications such as superheating steam, powering thermochemical processes, electricity production, energy storage, and process heat. Technology In conjunction with the Australian National University, Wizard Power developed a suite of advanced solar mirror panel technology specifically designed for Big Dish and other solar concentrators. These mirror panels, along with their unique thermal and thermochemical solar energy storage systems, played a crucial role in delivering large-scale, zero-emission thermal and electrical energy for various dispatchable power applications. Wizard Power positioned themselves as providers of research, development, technology support, and systems integration services necessary to facilitate the implementation of projects utilizing their solar technologies. Moreover, the company had ongoing initiatives in developing high-temperature solar gasification solutions. These solutions aimed to convert coal, biomass, and other carbonaceous materials into valuable resources such as liquid fuels, plastics, and fertilizers. One of Wizard Power's endeavors was the establishment of a
