WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp. (WWAT), developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, today announced that the Company will be exhibiting at the 2008 Solar Power International Trade Show and Conference, October 13-16 in San Diego, CA. By participating in this event, WorldWater will introduce ENTECH’s solar concentrator technology to the U.S. market. ENTECH, Inc. is a subsidiary of WorldWater.
The company will display its ENTECH concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) technology, which can supply safe and reliable solar electric power as well as combined solar electric and solar thermal (PVT) energy. ENTECH has over 20 years of proven field experience, and a full-scale model ENTECH solar concentrator module will be on display at the trade show booth.
ENTECH’s CPV solar electric capabilities are particularly attractive for utility-scale developers given the technology’s ability to scale in size. ENTECH’s combined PVT solar electric and thermal applications can provide a fixed price energy hedge as well as cost containment for both grid-supplied electricity and natural gas at food processing plants, hotels, amusement parks, hospitals, pulp and paper processing plants, and other large retail “behind the meter” users of water and electricity.
Product lines for commercialization are now being developed at ENTECH’s new solar manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The 70,000 square foot operation has a planned capacity of up to 200 Megawatts of production. ENTECH has been designing, developing and installing solar concentrator technology for almost three decades, and its superior optics, including the patented, arched Fresnel lens, was originally designed for use by the NASA space program.
Billed as America’s largest solar event, the Solar Power International Trade Show was created through a partnership between the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) in 2004. Founded as a business-to-business solar conference and expo, Solar Power International has established itself as the premiere solar event in the United States. Last year over 12,000 people attended this event, with 15,000 attendees projected for 2008.
The Worldwater/ENTECH booth will be located at exhibit space #1239.
