2,000 barrels of oil solar Removal
Technology has begun in these tropical islands, and has now returned home to rest, but a nice way.
On December 10, the power of the Big Island is a park of 4 hectares solar technology based Sopogy, which separated as Keahole Solar Power LLC to develop the project.
Located in Honolulu, 500 kW Sopogy concentrating solar, which is more efficient than solar systems PV will provide enough electricity for the grid of the Big Island of 250 homes, according to estimates by the energy agency of the state.
This amount will prevent 808 metric tons of carbon dioxide from power plants that burn oil (including Hawaii justly famous) is the same as the preservation of nearly 8 acres of forest, planting 20,176 trees or removing 154 cars off the road. In 2007, The mixture of oil generation Hawaii totaled 68.4 percent and 12.5 percent coal, with only 4.5 per cent of the provision of resources Renewable energy like solar, wind, geothermal and biomass.
4 hectares of park Sopogy solar collectors consist of approximately 1000 12 feet long and five feet wide, also eliminate the need to buy 2000 barrels of oil, a development that the State Manager Energy Ted Peck called "exciting".
The technology itself is based on channels or solar collectors per barrel as of this capture, reflect and concentrate the sun's energy in a central bar collection. The system can handle liquids up to 400 degrees (Fahrenheit) and heat the liquid that is used to produce steam to power a turbine.
The matrix is placed next to natural laboratory Hawaii Energy (South Kona International Airport), but a pilot project 44,572 square meters in July, built by Sopogy and dynamics of helium (A manufacturer solar concentration) under the auspices of the Southern California Gas (a division of Sempra Energy), showed that the technology viable and concentration over Sopogy more solar panels by Andasol 1 concentration and size of the PC "Concentration Solar Generation" (unlike mainframes).
collector Sopogy, originally designed as SopoFlare ™ and the market for commercial and industrial roofs, an alternative energy solar thermal (solar hot water hot) and photovoltaic technologies, was developed in collaboration with a roof integrated mounting.
All offers are based Sopogy your MicroCSP ™, which can be used in place of, or hybrid systems, power generation, cooling (or AC) Systems, process heat recovery equipment, and even desalination.
Founded in 2002 by the Energy Industries, based in Hawaii (a developer of energy products) as an incubator of energy concepts in the laboratories of the site energy, Sopogy went on to become an innovative company offering a product that costs less to manufacture photovoltaic solar energy, with almost twice efficiency. And, although not as effective as the utility scale solar thermal collection systems, it is less expensive can store energy at night and on cloudy days, and gives hope that one day the technology will be available on unit size residential roofing.
Sopogy welcomes a 50-megawatt project in Spain, and its sister organization, Keahole, hopes to develop 30 megawatts of concentrating solar power on the islands over the next six years.
