Ultra Lite 1
Our Ultra Lite 1 trough uses air pressure to hold the primary mirror film reflector. This system reduces manufacturing costs. Solar troughs typically acheive up to 400 C temperatures.

Ultra Lite 3
Our Ultra Lite 3 trough design does not use an air envelope, but a mirrored film adheared to an aluminum sheet that is held in a parabolic shape by a super-structure. A low-cost, low-temprerature (up to 200C) linear receiver replaces the much more expensive "evacuated tube linear receivers" for process heating and ORC power generation applications.
Point Focus solar concentrator
Our point focus technology can achieve temperatures up to 850 C. It can boost temperatures from the trough for specific applications.
