Advanced Solar Thermal Energy

The Earth receives 174 Petawatts (=1.74×1017 Watts) of incoming solar radiation at any given time. Only 51% of this is absorbed by land and oceans, with the remainder being radiated back into space. Therefore, the total amount of solar energy reflected is vast. With a proper use of solar capture technology, we can harvest this untapped energy supply to fulfil the world´s energy demand. Alternative sustainable and economical sources of energy must be found.

The Earth Power Group has developed an advanced solar thermal energy system that we predict will set the standard for a “New Age of Renewable Energy” which has been branded as “Sol Invictus”.

Implementing the combined technologies of Sol Invictus can solve many of the environmental and energy problems, and reduce the reliance upon the world’s limited natural resources.

Solar Energy has traditionally been focused upon 1) Photovoltaic & 2) Solar Thermal, however both have limitations:

Photovoltaic cells require large areas to produce electricity and have a very low efficiency level compared with traditional energy sources. In addition, no efficient storage of electrical energy has yet to be developed which will ultimately constrain the impact of photovoltaic sources of energy.
Solar Thermal is a very simple and efficient concept, however the use of heavy capital equipment such as turbines, do not allow it to compete with traditional power sources.

Solution Overview

“Sol Invictus” has significant benefits to the energy sector, allows solar energy to compete on price and efficiency with traditional energy sources, enabling companies and countries to rapidly implement a solar based energy infrastructure that will solve many of the affects on climate change. The system efficiently and cheaply converts heat to electrical energy and with the integration of proprietary thermal energy storage allows for 24/7 renewable electrical energy generation.

Thermal Storage

Earth Power has developed a thermal storage capacity that allows for solar power to operate economically 24 hours per day. The storage system has been designed to store sufficient thermal energy to ensure that energy is always available to provide electricity upon demand.

Electrical Generation

When it comes to electrical generation, the project requirements dictate which electrical generation is required. Earth Power has multiple integrated generation solutions that will be used dependent upon the size of the project. The system has been designed to be modular and can be used for small scale 5kw/h projects for individual homes, as well as being used for Multi Megawatt projects on an industrial electrical generation scale.

Sustainable Growth

There are now strong global incentives to reduce our carbon footprints, consumption of fossil fuels, and most importantly find alternative fuels and energy. Without sustainable solutions, the environment will deteriorate further and lead to a worsening crisis.

Eliminate Landfills

Our processes transform waste into useable products eliminating the need for landfill

Waste to Fuel

Via combined Environmental Power process, one ton of municipal waste can be converted into 2.7 barrels of synthetic crude oil.

Reduced CO₂ Emissions

The fuels burn cleaner reducing CO₂ emissions and exceed the most strictist Clean Air Standards
