SolarFluidics is a (patent pending) solar thermal photon harvester.The construction of the collectors are a composite of carbon nanoparticles which enable solar harvesting with efficiencies up to 80 percent (field tested to be capable of producing 800-1,000 watt per 1m² )Harvested light is converted into heat by the nanoparticles, the heat is transferred into water by a heat exchanger on the back of each panel.The panels or cells are modular, but can be connected together to adapt the collection area to any desired power output.This technology provides 4x more power than photovoltaics and can be manufactured at 1/5th of the cost (1 TWh per year for less than $15m)Applications include:* THERMAL POWER for residential, commercial, and industrial - contribute to or replace existing hot water systems* AIR CONDITIONING - adding energy to contribute or replace electrical AC systems* DESALINATION - adding energy to existing process to improve efficiency or replace where other heat or power source not available (there are 300+ in this region alone)* ELECTRICAL ENERGY - adding energy to electrical power production by supplying hot water for feed water (DUBAL Aluminium Plant uses 5% of all UAE electricity)* PATHOGEN NEUTRALISATION - preparing water to be safe for drinking (elimination of protozoal, parasitic, bacterial, viral, and algal)SolarFluidics is environmentally friendly to produce, is made from fundamental earth elements and is 100% recyclable. It is ideally suited to all countries located +/- 30 degrees of the Equator.
