Our solar energy system uses evacuated tube collectors to capture thermal energy from the sun. This heat powers an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) heat engine which drives an alternator to produce electricity. Hot water is generated as a by-product. Our ORC engine is a new design which has less moving parts and is cheaper and simpler to manufacture than conventional ORC engines. These innovations are covered by patents.
