Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc. announced cost reductions using patent pending technology with solar thermal and heat recovery systems for industrial applications. The patent pending concentrated solar technology can reduce the use of conventional heat sources like natural gas and coal using thermal storage systems that are already available. One viable heat storage method is the use of natural stones as a heat storage media which are cheap and harmless to the environment.

The most important innovation toward reducing the cost of electricity is related to the unique solar concentration section that works well with solar tracker. The Concentrated Solar innovation brings substantial cost saving improvements toward delivering solar generated electricity. The unique cost competitive solar concentration section using a low-cost material is placed onto the solar tracker platform.

The low-cost material is already approved by structural engineers for buildings having an expected life of 30 years. In recent news, Mass Megawatts introduced a new Sterling engine using the low-cost concentrator. The improved Sterling engine reduces the mechanical issues related to pistons and its applications.

In the heat displacer and piston, a rectangular extension with the four walls comprising rollers avoids the need for precision and friction when the parts are moving. The cost reduction related to robust simplicity also reduces long term maintenance issues related to traditional piston technology.
