Heliac solar collectors and thermal energy storage
Heliac produces, delivers and installs solar fields based on low-cost, high-efficiency lenses
PilotUtility-scale solar heat at a cost below that of fossil fuels anywhere in the world
The need
There is currently no economical CO2-free heat available for temperatures of over 80°C to 100°C that addresses >25 percent of all CO2 emissions. Low cost, efficient and uncomplicated solutions must be found.
The solution
Heliac’s delivers CO2-free heat to industries and district heating systems. Concentrating solar collectors produce sustainable heat at a cost below that of fossil fuels; RockStore thermal energy storage enables low-cost, flexible large-scale energy storage offering both heat generation and power generation on demand. By providing clean energy solutions that address a third of all energy consumption, Heliac enables the transition to renewable heat, reduced carbon emissions and lower energy costs.
The value proposition
Concentrating solar collectors:
- Flexible and versatile (can change the temperature as needed).
- Follows the sun to maximise output the entire day (+20-40%).
- Standardised design.
- Up to 95% can be locally produced and recycled.
RockStore thermal energy storage:
- Simple design resulting in low costs.
- Highly scalable.
- Using readily-available materials.
- Low skill requirements for operation and maintenance.
HELIAC: Sustainable heat for your industrial processes
Heliac produces, delivers and installs solar fields based on low-cost, high-efficiency lenses. Heliac’s solar collectors can produce sustainable and unsubsidised heat at temperatures higher than 350C at a cost below that of fossil fuels anywhere in the world. This solution can address up to a quarter of global energy consumption, without carbon emissions.
