Solar Thermal

We are looking for an idea implementer who can bring to market a solar thermal product which has been independently tested to show that it is to 46% more efficient than some commercially available systems. The market for this type of product is growing. The EU is committed to reducing its overall emissions to at least 20% below 1990 levels by 2020.  As heat accounts for 49% of the overall European Union final energy demand, the renewable heating sector will have to make a major contribution in order to reach the renewable energy target.  It is a similar picture across the globe so now could be an opportune time to get involved in this market. This technology can be used with adsorption chiller units which are 80% more efficient than traditional electrical air-conditioning units as well as providing hot water for a range of applications.
