General information
- Short Summary
- Innovative German SME provider of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) solutions is looking for distributors or sales agents to represent and promote the technology worldwide with a special focus in target markets such as Spain, France, Austria, Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Portugal and emerging economies. Targeted types of cooperation are commercial agreements as well as research and development cooperation agreements.
- Full Description
-
An innovative German SME developed several Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) solutions. The company specializes in designing and delivering sustainable, cost-effective, and high-performance solar energy systems tailored to meet the growing demand for green process heat. With a focus on global energy transition, the company leverages cutting-edge technologies to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and improve the carbon footprint of industrial and municipal applications.
The flagship product, is a patented CSP solution that uses a parabolic dish concentrator to convert sunlight into thermal energy. Designed for operational simplicity and efficiency, the system offers temperatures ranging from 50°C to 350°C (with potential for 600°C in certain configurations), making it suitable for diverse applications such as:
• Industrial heating processes (e.g., chemical processing, cleaning, galvanization)
• District heating networks
• Energy-efficient manufacturing
Key features of the FOCUS system include:
• Innovative Optical Design: Enhances manufacturability and energy conversion efficiency through axial and radial control of the focal plane.
• Scalability and Versatility: Available in multiple models to suit various installation requirements, including rooftop and ground-mounted systems.
• Energy Efficiency: Achieves a solar-to-thermal efficiency of over 70%, outperforming traditional CSP trough systems by up to 47% in specific conditions.
• Durability and Longevity: Designed for a 25-year lifespan with minimal maintenance.
The company's technology is well-suited for locations with high solar irradiation potential, with ongoing site analyses in regions such as Braunschweig, Malaga, and other strategic global markets. Early data demonstrates significant energy yield advantages over conventional systems, providing businesses with an opportunity to achieve substantial cost savings and sustainability goals.
The company is looking for looking for distributors or sales agents to represent and promote the technology worldwide with a special focus in target markets such as Spain, the USA, and emerging economies. Targeted types of cooperation are commercial agreements as well as research and development cooperation agreements. - Advantages and Innovations
