While finishing my last year in high school in Physics class we have come across an opportunity to become inventors. During this project I and a group of three other students have chose to create/invent something using solar thermal energy. From the research I have done, having you technical advisor/ mentor would help immensely. Understanding the way solar thermal energy works is important and to conduct something using this you would have to have great understanding. Being this is your profession and what you do if it could be possible that you mentored us throughout our project by answering questions we struggle to find, and using your wider range of thought on the subject, it would be an enormous help. Hopefully we are able to fulfill the requirements that would be needed to come up with our invention, and also are able to function with the information we know. Please get back to me and let me know if your help could be possible. Thank you, 12th grade Physics student.
Task One: Two companies that use Thermal Energy and product produced
Solargenix Energy: The Winston Series CPC is a patented Compound Parabolic Collector utilizing non-imaging optics to focus sunlight onto a high efficiency absorber tube.
SEIA, Solar Energy Industries Association: Solar collectors: Absorb the sun's energy to provide low-temperature heat used directly for hot water or space heating and cooling systems for residential or commercial buildings. Collectors can be flat panel or evacuated tubes
Task Two: professional Association or trade organization
Name: Solargenix Energy
Description: Solargenix Energy, LLC is a limited liability company with worldwide experience in energy and environmental engineering, solar design and building construction. The primary strategic plan of Solargenix Energy is to design, market, and manufacture; as well as; install and maintain a patented solar system capable of producing hot water, steam or electricity for residential, industrial, institutional, commercial, and utility customers.
People/ companies involved: Solargenix Energy has partnered with the top evacuated tube manufacturers in the world to meet the demand for its high efficiency collectors. Solargenix Energy has five operating division or business units. Experts in the associated technologies and business operations manage each of the divisions
Task Three: Propose and describe new products based on your teams NCT technical application.
The creation of a solar power box that is easy accessible and can be used very frequently in many different conditions. This box will be sun operated and can be useful in many different conditions. It will be an a size that is convenient for people and a tool that can keep safety in dangerous environments.
