Solar Hot Water System with a Parabolic Concentrator
One year ago, Solartron Energy Systems Inc. introduced the world to the first commercial available solar concentrator. The new 15ft (4.5m) diameter SolarBeam is capable of providing 13kW (44000 btu’s) of thermal heat per hour. Unlike solar flat plate panels or evacuated tubes that lose efficiency with higher operating temperatures, the SolarBeam maintains a continuous 82% efficiency. Solartron Energy has a market reach as far as Western Africa to Australia in addition to our North American market. You will see an example of the SolarBeam providing heat for 3X 120 gallon tanks and a 1000 gallon tank for a national bottling plant.
