Three Sixty Solar Inks Partnership with ASPECT Structural Engineers

ASPECT has been engaged as a development partner to perform parametric analysis and design the structural towers, incorporating variables such as geometric sizing, local seismic loads, wind loads, and building codes.

Three Sixty Solar Ltd. has announced a strategic partnership with ASPECT Structural Engineers Canada Ltd. Structural engineering plays a key role in the ongoing development and scalability of the Three Sixty Solar SVS product mix of vertical solar towers.

Founded in 2014, ASPECT has been engaged as a development partner to perform parametric analysis and design the structural towers, incorporating variables such as geometric sizing, local seismic loads, wind loads, and building codes, as well as multiple additional utilities that can be added to each tower.

Talking about the partnership, ASPECT Associate Paul Paquet said, “The Three Sixty project began with optimisation of a single tower but it became apparent quite quickly that there was a need to use parametric design to keep up with the demand and changes associated with building around the world. We are excited that we have been able to help design the tower to be adaptable to changing technologies, setting the base tower to the correct starting condition, and leveraging that to adapt our geometry instantly to accommodate Three Sixty Solar’s needs as they expand around the world.”

Brian Roth, CEO of Three Sixty Solar added, “I am thrilled to be working with a firm as reputable and talented as ASPECT. They have already provided critical support in designing our towers with the flexibility to adapt to new geographies, conditions, and sources of supply. I expect that partnering with ASPECT will enhance our ability to deliver on our stated goal of installing at least 500 MW of power in the next five years.”
