Consider the following facts:

  • The solar energy striking the average building is sufficient to provide it with all its heat and power.
  • Conservative estimates show that energy costs are rising at between 10% and 28% (oil) per year.
  • Reliable electrical distribution, generation and supply is diminishing.
  • Consumer demand for power & green power is real
  • Many North American utilities require significant capacity replacement - coupled with mandated increases in generation of renewables.
  • The Province of Ontario is calling for 1.35 GW of green power by the year 2007.
  • Based upon research by Statistics Canada, over 80% of home energy use is dedicated to space and water heating.

North American electrical transmission is severely challenged... distributed electrical generation alleviates this problem.

The Power-Spar® system is specifically designed to be used for:

  • Concentrated solar PV for combined heat and power (electrical and thermal energy)
  • Building heat and hot water
  • Industrial process steam, heat and hot water
  • Air Conditioning (through absorption chillers)
  • Lighting (through fiber optic cables)

The Power-Spar® systems are available in configurations for commercial flat roofs (non-penetrating) or ground mounting.

What does a Power-Spar® system offer our customers?

  • Up to 100% of electrical, process, air conditioning, space & hot water energy needs
  • Very cost effective electrical and thermal power and natural light
  • Immunity from escalating energy costs and proposed penalties for peak demand electrical use
  • Immunity from electricity loss due to grid loss from blackouts, brownouts and ice storms, etc.

Power-Spar® systems incorporate the latest high efficiency triple junction photovoltaic (PV) cells and have been designed with the ability to upgrade when more efficient PV cells become available.

The Power-Spar® provides concentrated solar power for commercial, industrial and institutional (ICI) buildings. This product will greatly benefit from the day it's installed. This system can easily be added to existing buildings or used in new construction. The Power-Spar® thermal storage units are designed to distribute the energy day or night, rain or shine - the Power-Spar® is an efficient zero-emission renewable energy option!

Ontario consumers facing higher gas bills
A rush of cold air could wash over Ontario this fall when residents get their first glimpse at natural gas bills that include higher prices which went into effect on Canada Day.
Consumers will face gas bills that are as much as 45% higher than what they're used to paying, depending on where they live, and that could convince many to sign energy contracts to cut their costs. full story>>>
