"IAUS's new solar technology is the first to offer the possibility of competing head-to-head with fossil fuels for both electricity and gasoline production. It costs less now than the World Government's goal for solar power cost per kilowatt by the year 2020. |
"Current solar solutions (both solar thermal and photovoltaic) are well suited to delivering peak power efficiently since peak demand typically correlates with daylight. However, they severely suffer for providing baseload power. On average, solar farms install 8x the capacity needed to meet the average demand. This is in order to ensure power can be provided through the evening and when clouds block the sun. In addition to this increased need for "excess" capacity, a suitable method to store the energy must be implemented. Cost effective, reliable energy storage continues to be a technology challenge for PV markets. Finally, the excess capacity also requires excess land resources. |
"Stirling offers the advantage of being indifferent to the source of heat. During the day, it can operate using solar radiation, and during the evening, an alternative fuel source (biomass, natural gas, etc), can be used to produce electricity. This permits much greater effectiveness of capital assets for electricity production. For base-load power production, Stirling is 23% less expensive than photovoltaics. |
"STG (previously operating as the Solar Turbine Group) is a non-profit organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts whose mission is to provide technical, financial and intellectual support, assistance, and training to projects and organizations focused on bringing sustainable energy technologies to communities across the developing world. |
SRI is a New Mexico company located in Santa Fe that is focused on aquisition, exploration and development of state of the art technology for solar energy and desalinization projects ranging from small private reverse osmosis units to large municipal/government desalinization sites. |

" Absolicon X10 A new era in solar energy has been initiated through the launch of Absolicon X10. The revolutionary idea behind our product is with a cost effective and unique design concentrate the sunlight in order to produce electricity and heat simultaneous. The technology that Absolicon has developed combining photovoltaic cells and a solar collector is called Double Solar Technology and is the result of many years of research and testing. |
"The ZenithSolar optical dish is based on a patented design, utilizing multiple simple flat mirrors mounted on a plastic surface. The molded plastic surface, divided into four quadrants, is fixed onto a rigid, high precision metal frame assembled onto an azimuth - elevation solar tracking system. |
"Sierra SunTower supplies 5 MW of clean, renewable energy to the grid. The full-scale power plant, the only commercial CSP tower in the United States, supplies electricity to Southern California Edison (SCE) and will power up to 4,000 homes. |
"The Infinia Solar System is a very high performance, mass-produced solar power generation system that harnesses the power of the Stirling engine |
"SolarReserve was formed to solve two of the fundamental barriers of renewable energy: scalability and storage. Unlike hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass, and other renewable energy technologies that use limited renewable fuel sources, SolarReserve's power plants draw their heat from the sun - earth's ultimate source of clean energy. And unlike wind and photovoltaics, SolarReserve's power plants can deliver power whenever it is needed, either 24 hours per day or only during "peak" demand. By overcoming these two key barriers, SolarReserve enables utility-scale, clean, renewable electricity generation." |
"SolarReserve will build power plants designed as Solar Power Towers. This configuration captures and focuses the sun's thermal energy with thousands of tracking mirrors (called heliostats) in a two square mile field. A tower resides in the center of the heliostat field. The heliostats focus concentrated sunlight on a receiver which sits on top of the tower. Within the receiver, the concentrated sunlight heats molten salt to over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. The heated molten salt then flows into a thermal storage tank where it is stored, maintaining 98% thermal efficiency, and eventually pumped to a steam generator. The steam drives a standard turbine to generate electricity. This process, also known as the "Rankine cycle" is similar to a standard coal-fired power plant, except it is fueled by clean and free solar energy. Other than the few unique components noted below, SolarReserve's power plants are comprised of available materials, such as mirrors, and established technologies, such as steam generators and turbines. This will enable SolarReserve to provide electricity at or below prices from traditional sources such as coal or natural gas...more |
"Flagsol GmbH, head quartered in Cologne, Germany, is a subsidiary of the Solar Millennium AG, one of the most innovative developer of solar thermal power plants worldwide. In 2002 Flagsol GmbH received the entire solar thermal knowhow of Flabeg Solar International GmbH that has been one of the key know how carriers of parabolic trough technology since 1986. Flagsol counts on a staff of more than 65 highly specialised and internationally experienced engineers, computer scientists and economists. |
"BrightSource Energy, Inc. develops, builds, owns, and operates large scale solar plants that reliably deliver low-cost solar energy to industrial and utility companies worldwide. |
"Sopogy is a leader in MicroCSP technologies that bring the economics of proven large scale Concentrating Solar Power systems (CSP) to the distributed generation markets. MicroCSP technologies are used to create Process Heat, Solar Air Conditioning or Electrical Power. For more information on the technology visit the How It Works page. |
"Originally founded in 2002 at the Energy Laboratories an energy concept incubator of Energy Industries, Sopogy is focused at bringing a new renewable energy technology to the market. The future is clean power, green systems and LEED™ smart buildings. The Sopogy energy system is enabling the solar energy revolution and for our customers "every day is a Sopogy day™". |
"Concerning solar power, photovoltaics is not the only available option. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology provides for electricity generation as well, above all for large-scale applications. Amongst the various CSP processes, solar power plants with parabolic trough technology have proven their practical value for more than 20 years. SCHOTT Solar is one of the world's leading suppliers of a key component for this technology - the receiver. |
"CSP technology converts sunlight to heat through parabolic trough power plants: using large rows of parabolic-shaped mirrors, the sun's radiation is concentrated up to 80-fold on the receivers. Heat transfer oil is heated here, and, via a heat exchanger, steam emerges that in turn drives traditional steam turbines. Thermal accumulators enable reliable generation of electricity, even at night. |
"Solar Millennium's vision, since the founding of the company, has been to enable energy conversion through the construction of solar thermal power plants. Solar Millennium is already putting this vision into practice: the development of the first European parabolic trough power plants has been underway in southern Spain since 2006. |

"Because of the high-temperature capability of the Solargenix Energy collection systems, conversion to electricity is particularly effective where utilities are in need of summertime peaking power or in remote locations of the world where no other cost-effective or reliable options exist. Prototype engines in sizes from 5 kW to 1 MW are being tested and in some cases available off the shelf today. Multi-megawatt solar power plants similar to the Kramer Junction Facility in California pictured here, are under design and ready for deployment. |
"Wizard Power Pty Limited was incorporated in 2005 to commercialise the research into concentrating solar thermal technologies originally undertaken by the Australian National University, where research into solar thermal concentrators and thermochemical energy conversion and storage systems began in the early 1970s (see the ANU Solar Thermal Group Website). |
