What They Do

The company have developed and patented the next generation of solar concentrators. There lower focal point fixed to the ground solar concentrator (known as the ASC) concentrates solar radiation by thousands of times at a focal area fixed to the ground achieving high temperatures exceeding a 1000C. The technology is modular and needs lesser land than existing Concentrated Solar Power technologies. The ASC can be used for low cost solar storage for dispatchable 24/7 solar electricity generation. Moreover, it can be used for Green Hydrogen Production, high temperature Solar Heat for Industrial Process (SHIP), ultra-high solar electricity generation, and industrial solar metal melting. Many other applications can benefit from the ASC technology including water desalination, solar cooling …etc.
