Worcester, Massachusetts--(Newsfile Corp. - July 11, 2024) - Mass Megawatts (OTC Pink: MMMW) announces a patent pending new solar photovoltaic concentration innovation that improves output for stationary solar projects without the need of a tracker or any moving parts. The improvement will generate more than 105 percent power output with solar panels for very little additional cost using the innovation in comparison to similar solar panels not using the innovation. A major benefit of the innovation is the reduced obstacles to production and customer acceptance. The need to have multiple bearings, new software, tracker motors, and moving platforms reduced the interest in the trackers for potential customers.
More importantly, the new product is designed to generate more solar energy near the beginning and end of the daylight hours when electricity is at peak demand. If the utility has a time of use billing method, it can save customers from purchasing more expensive electricity during peak hours. As a result, the electric power users save more money for each kilowatt/hour used.
The patent pending stationary structure uses reflectors that direct the sunlight to the solar panels. In addition, the innovation uses a low-cost method of reflecting infrared or heat related solar energy while accepting the useful visible light electric solar energy. The new method to maximize the useful solar energy uses larger reflectors that would not be acceptable without the heat rejecting method for concentrating more solar power without damaging the solar panels with too much heat.
In the past, other products including the solar tracker shown in a video on our web site www.massmegawatts.com, were introduced that may take several years before commercialization unlike the new stationary concentrator which can be produced and sold immediately.
Mass Megawatts previously announced improvements toward cost reductions using the patent pending cost cutting concentrated solar power technology. We have two patent pending versions of concentrated solar technology. One is related to additional output for photovoltaic cells and the other is related to concentration of heat to operate a new and improved patent pending Sterling engine to produce electricity.
The Concentrated Solar Sterling Engine innovation brings the best substantial cost saving improvements toward delivering solar generated electricity. The unique cost competitive solar concentration section using low-cost material generally used by canvas buildings are placed onto of the solar tracker platform works well with our solar tracker. It helps concentrate the solar rays onto the heat piston section of the Sterling Engine. The low-cost canvas material is already approved by structural engineers for buildings with the canvas like material having an expected life of 30 years.
