Holaniku at Keahole Point is a micro-scaled concentrated solar power plant in the Kona District (west coast) of the island of Hawaiʻi. It is located in the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii at Keahole Point. According to different sources its installed capacity is in range of 0.1–2 MW.[2]
Holaniku at Keahole Point is the first commercial solar thermal power plant to be built using solar collectors manufactured by Sopogy. The project was developed by Keahole Solar Power, LLC. an Engineering, Procurement, and Contracting EPC company. The plant contains over 1,000 Sopogy MicroCSP SopoNova parabolic trough solar collectors. The power plant uses the sun's heat to create steam.[3]
