Solar Concentrators

The heat generated by these Solar Concentrators can be used for refrigeration, air conditioning, heating, power generation and desalination when combined with the appropriate compoents.

Air Conditioning

In many regions air conditioning can account for more than 50% of the electrical usage for over 6 months of the year. Solar driven air conditioning allows major energy savings for many large commercial and industrial users. Considering the tiered rate structures utilized by the Utilities during the summer months the cost savings could be dramatic.

With solar assisted air conditioning, thermal energy is used to drive the cooling process, rather than electric compressors. The most commonly available machines used for cooling are absorption chillers, a familiar technology widely used in many parts of the world for air conditioning and low temperature cold storage, and adsorption chillers, which are gaining increasing acceptance due to their simple design and operation.

This system can drive closed system absorption and absorption chillers to produce air conditioning
systems that displace electric load while simultaneously generating electricity. Air conditioning
can be designed to integrate with the same solar array as either power generation or process
heat, with ample thermal heat to drive at least two processes. This makes it exceptionally appealing to those with more than one on-site power need.
