and has 14 comments.
Solartron Energy Systems Inc. has created the SolarBeam Concentrator is the word’s first affordable parabolic solar concentrator for thermal hot water production. One system provides peak 10kw/hour (34000 BTU/hour) of hot water capable to heat a 2400 sq. ft (222 m2) house. The solar collector area of the SolarBeam Concentrator is 121 sq ft (11.3 m2) and concentrates the sun’s heat on a 10″X10″ (25X25 cm) heat exchanger. The SolarBeam has dual-axis sun tracking and is available for commercial, government, and residential applications. Payback is typically 6 years with government incentives. SolarBeam is 262% more efficient than solar flat plate hot water panels and 98% more efficient than evacuated tube panels. The system is also capable of generating 3.5 kW/hour of photovoltaic electricity as well provide air conditioning in conjunction with absorption chillers. SolarTron Energy Systems Inc. is currently looking for global distributors.

Solar Power Plants For Urban Use Becoming a Reality
By Solar Expert
and has no comments yet.
Most of us are familiar with the concept behind the wind farm as a means to generate sufficient energy to power the needs of urban environments. Solar power technology has lagged behind in this field, as it was better suited to smaller installations.
Now, however, we are beginning to see new experimental installations and technologies that are striving to break the barrier that has stood between the gathering of solar energy and the supplying of urban power needs. Here are three examples of large-scale technologies that are being pursued.
