Concentrated Solar Power for Industrial, Commercial or Institutional Applications
Electricity, Heat, Cooling & Lighting
The Power-Spar® is a revolutionary high efficiency solar concentrator that can be configured for electricity, heat,
cooling and/or lighting solutions. The Power-Spar® system consists of a parabolic trough reflector which concentrates the sun's
energy onto a modular absorber. The absorber converts
the sun's energy to electricity (via high efficiency multi-sun
photovoltaic cells), or to heat (via a patented absorption
surface) or transports the light to the buildings' interior
(via optical cabling).
The system is designed for easy integration with heat recovery systems,
turbines, thermal based chillers and geo-thermal solutions
to maximize the thermal, electrical and lighting
outputs. This efficient co-generation yields unprecedented
dollar value.
Capable of capturing up to 80% of the sun's energy, Power-
Spar systems can reduce typical building energy bills by as
much as 70%/year!
Menova Energy is proud to have been selected by the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation (OCRI) as one of Canada's Top 10 Cleantech companies for 2008.

Incentives for Renewable Energy
Governments at the Federal, State and/or Provincial levels may provide significant incentives to businesses (and individuals) who
install Power-Spar® products.
New programs are being announced on a regular basis - for example, the Ontario Energy Board (OEB)
and the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) announced on Mar 21, 2006 that the Province of Ontario will set "a price of 42 cents per kilowatt
hour for solar photovoltaic projects". See the press release
or go to the Ontario Energy Board site.
For US Federal and State programs, see the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy
(DSIRE web site).
