SHEC Labs Unveils The Power Of 5000 Suns With It's
ADVANCED SOLAR CONCENTRATOR
SASKATOON, June 10/2003/ SHEC LABS - Solar Hydrogen Energy
Corporation today unveiled its advanced solar concentrator
technology that intensifies sunlight 5,000 times.
Solar energy is abundant and can provide all the energy requirements
of humanity for millions of years to come. The problem in the past
has been to economically harness this energy. Tom Beck, President
and C.E.O of the SHEC labs says, "We have been working on large
scale solar concentrator technology for the last several years and
have been able to engineer cost to less than one third of that of
competing systems on the market today. This cost advantage makes
solar collection economically viable and competitive with fossil
fuels. We expect to lower the cost even further in the years ahead,
making renewable energy much less expensive than fossil fuels."
Tom Beck goes on to say "We have been applying proprietary
manufacturing processes to duplicate this price advantage on a
small scale. It is difficult to get the same economies of scale
when manufacturing a smaller unit, however we are coming closer
to achieving this goal. The solar concentrator we unveiled today
demonstrates what is possible. Even on a small scale we can
concentrate sunlight to a very high level and efficiently collect
it in an optical receiver. This heat energy is then removed and
applied to a useful purpose, if not removed, this energy can melt
steel in seconds."
Applications include heating, even in extremely cold climates, water
distillation, air conditioning, electrical power generation,
hydrogen production and a host of other applications. We have had
an expression of interest from numerous companies who see the
market potential for energy independence. Solar collection
systems are projected to reach commercialization in 2004 with a
new manufacturing facility that is currently being designed.
