Solartron Energy Systems announced that it has developed a new SolarBeam Concentrator that is likely to offer more solar heat when compared to traditional hot water systems.
The SolarBeam Concentrator system concentrates the energy on a focal point by utilizing a parabolic mirror, making it 98% more effective than the evacuated tube technology and 262% more effective than hot water panels. It also has a dual-axis tracking system that is controlled by a computer. The dual-axis tracking system enhances solar concentration and delivers more efficiency all through the day.
Solartron Energy Systems is manufacturing cost-efficient and energy-efficient solar heating technologies by manufacturing concentrated solar power (CSP) technology. The technology uses a parabolic mirror to accumulate solar energy on a focal point to generate high amount of energy.
The SolarBeam concentrator utilizes a patent-pending technology to offer heat of 13 kW per hour all through the day. It has a celestial tracking system that generates more power, when compared to other systems. The SolarBeam is suitable for all industrial, commercial, and business applications. It enables a business to utilize the full capacity of the solar thermal energy for heating water and buildings.
The SolarBeam kit incorporates a heat exchanger, a power train, celestial tracking system, an eight ft post, and a SolarBeam dish. The solar hot water solution benefits from the reflector’s parabolic curve performance. The SolarBeam hot water system, by using the parabolic curve, focuses the intensity of the sun onto the focal point. The absorber, located on the focal point, maximizes the thermal transmission to the poly-glycol fluid.
