ENNEPETAL, GERMANY--(Marketwire - May 12, 2010) - Alanod-Solar, the worldwide leader in advanced reflective and absorptive solar surfaces, today revealed that Chromasun's next generation Micro-Concentrator (MCT) rooftop cooling system will be showcased at its booth at Intersolar in Munich on June 09-11, 2010.
The lightweight, low-profile MCT module uses Alanod-Solar metal mirrors in a utility-scale solar cooling system packaged for rooftop deployment. The technology is designed to offset summertime peak loads by utilizing solar energy for commercial and industrial cooling needs. The MCT will be available for viewing in Hall C1 at Alanod-Solar's booth, number 282.
Alanod-Solar is a worldwide leader in the manufacturing of advanced reflective solar surfaces on aluminum. These NREL-tested high-performance metal mirrors lead to higher efficiency, better durability and an overall lower cost of systems for solar technologies. The lightweight and formable nature of aluminum-based mirrors make them ideal for rooftop-based solutions such as Chromasun's MCT system.
The MCT is a solar thermal collector that can obtain a concentration of 25 times the sun using Alanod-Solar's lightweight, highly reflective aluminum mirrors pivoting in unison to follow the sun. Solar energy is collected from the mirrors by a selectively coated stainless steel receiver bar that can operate at temperatures up to 220 degrees Celsius. This entire optical system is enclosed within a sealed canopy to protect against the elements. The MCT is mounted on the same racking systems as conventional flat panel solar thermal collectors for ease of installation.
To schedule a time to review the MCT module with Alanod-Solar or Chromasun executives, please call Sargon Ishaya at +1 (408) 813-2970. Booth number 282 is located in Hall C1.
