SHEC LABS has developed the world's most efficient solar thermal technology ???

SHEC LABS has developed solar concentrator and complementary solar receiver technology that is able to concentrate sunlight to a very high level. Sunlight has been concentrated up to 5,000 times the intensity of the sun and in commercial scale systems could be high as 11,000 to 16,000 times the intensity of the sun. This immense solar concentration creates high heat at the focal point that approach the surface temperature of the sun at 6,000 °C (11,000 °F). Metal placed at the focus is instantly melted.

To be able to deliver that kind of efficiency, SHEC Labs uses a one-foot-square parabolic mirror, several of which are fastened together to a frame. A solar receiver in the form of a cylindrical tube with an aperture, painted with a highly-reflective coating is also in use. The light that enters the aperture bounces around until 95 percent of the energy (5 percent is lost and goes back out the aperture) is absorbed slowly. This technology could be used, of course, to generate power through the use of a stirling engine. It could also be used for heating purposes, water distillation, and production of syngas which could be turned into hydrogen for fuel.

SHEC Labs Claims to Have World's Most Efficient Solar Thermal Tech

One of the applications of technology will be power generation, such as via a stirling engine or by steam and turbine. SHEC has singed an agreement for the pursuit and capitalization for the generation of a total of 3 gigawatts divided among six solar farms of 500 MW output each, beginning overseas this year.
