Solar Thermal GeneratorsSolar Thermal Generators is a system that gathers and concentrates the energy of sunlight to produce hotwater & steam, used to operate a turbine and generator, similar to most power plants that use traditional fuels. The heat from sunlight is used instead of petroleum, coal, natural gas, or nuclear. At the most concentrated, the temperatures can easily exceed 3,000 F. The average American home consumes about 30 kilowatt hours of power per day. In five hours' time, this system would produce all the power a home would need. Photovoltaic panels usually produce about 15% electrical power from the sunlight they receive. Our system is targeted at 60% through the use of a steam turbine and heat recovery. A well-designed heat collector panel can achieve about 50% efficiency in transferring the sun's heat into your hot water system.
