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 (34,000 BTU/hour) of hot water capable to heat a 2,400 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.
