Abstract:
Invention House LLC proposes to lower the initial cost of solar energy by minimizing the material used in the reflector of a concentrating trough. Placing the support structure on the front (sun) side and using a thin reflecting membrane will reduce material usage and cost by approximately 66%. The system is capable of producing boiling hot water for use in grain drying, food processing, and sterilization. This phase 1 project aims to show the feasibility of such a design by delivering a working prototype capable of heat collection.Small Business Information at Submission:INVENTION HOUSE, LLC
