Sky Power Solutions, a specialist in the development and marketing of next generation lithium-powered batteries and concentrated solar collector electric generating power systems, announced it will display a stand-alone residential solar concentrating electrical power generation system during SOLAR INTERNATIONAL 2011 at the Dallas Convention Center in Dallas, Texas from October 17 - 20, 2011.
The new solar collector electric generating power system is unique because it can produce in excess of 2 Kilowatts (kw) of electric power with zero emissions using sunlight as the only fuel, and features built-in heat recapture to provide free hot water to users.
The Sky Power Solutions residential solar power station is capable of reducing the average user's monthly electric grid consumption by up to 30-40 percent with zero emissions and a zero carbon footprint; using only the power of the sun, according to company officials.
The compact and visually appealing Sky Power Solutions system can easily be installed in most backyards taking less than one-third of the space of conventional solar panels, the company claims.
The entry-level price point for a Sky Power Solutions-Concentrated Solar electric system is estimated to be $5,000 at release. Consumers can install multiple units for increased capacity.
Sky Power Solutions is committed to producing energy-efficient technologies. The company’s foray into the Residential Electric Power Generation market validates this commitment.
The company also offers advanced Lithium Ion battery technology to Li-ion Motors Corp for use in their all electric, zero-emissions automobiles. The company feels that the growth in the consumer acceptance of all electric cars will place an increased burden on the U.S. Electric Grid; at the same time, growth in capacity of electrical capacity is expected to decline.
Sky Power Solutions’ technologies, like Residential Solar Generation System, will not only lower the grid consumption of users but also augment the Electric Grid by producing and sending electricity from the residential users’ surplus capacity into the grid, therefore causing the user's electric meter to run backwards.
