SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Environmental compliance and sustainability drive Solar’s product design and development programs.
We can help you achieve your environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals with products that facilitate clean fuel transition, better operational efficiency, and reduced emissions.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE INVESTMENT TAX CREDIT
At Solar Turbines, we recognize the need for environmentally friendly energy solutions. The industry continues to see increasing carbon reduction targets, and we are committed to helping you meet those goals. We have a variety of combined heat and power (CHP) products and services in place to support your efforts in reducing your company’s carbon footprint.
We will work with your team as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides significant tax incentives and credits covering the development of new or upgraded energy facilities helping to foster carbon reduction globally. The Energy Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a newer incentive for installing CHP systems. We are ready to help you with this opportunity while we strive toward being more energy efficient.

HYDROGEN POWER
In 1985, we introduced a Hydrogen-rich power generation package solutions that have, since then, contributed greatly to global hydrogen use, with units logging more than two million hours of operation with up to 70% Hydrogen gas (H2).
SYNTHETIC GAS TO ENERGY
Solar Turbines can help your business with renewable electricity by converting waste to energy. Synthetic gas, or Syngas, consists primarily of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Syngas is usually the product of gasification of coal, biomass or Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).
SOLONOX™ TECHNOLOGY
Solar’s gas turbine engines are available with pollutionprevention SoLoNOx™ dry lean-premixed combustion technology. This advanced combustion system provides the most cost effective and environmentally friendly approach to reduce NOx emissions. More than 3500 gas turbines with SoLoNOx technology have been installed worldwide, logging more than 350 million operating hours.
