[5] Each module contains 2,400 fresnel lenses to concentrate sunlight 500 times onto multi-junction solar cells, allowing a greater efficiency than other photovoltaic power plants.

[6][7] The facility is sited on 190 hectares near a similar 60 kW CPV pilot plant on the neighbouring Aquila private game reserve.

[4][11] Soitec initiated the project under the South African government's Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP).

[3][13] [14] The project is owned by Soitec (20%); the Public Investment Corporation, which is the South African Government's employee pension fund (40% through a preferred share structure ); Pele Green Energy (Pty) Ltd (35%); and the Touwsrivier Community Trust (5%).

[20] Annual electricity production for the Touwsrivier CPV plant has performed near expected targets for the first five years of operation (2015–2019) as summarized in this bond credit rating opinion from Moody's.
