Seeking Partner with $3.5 million to assist us go to market with our HCPV Solar Technology

Within 6 hours, desert areas receive more energy from the sun than mankind uses in one year ~ Dr. Gerhard Knies

Privately held company with 30 years reseach and development in HCPV solar technology seeking partner with 
$3.5 million to assist us in securing UL Certification so that we can begin selling/installing our 41% efficient HCPV solar power parks in the Southwest U.S. UL Certification will take about 18 months. Several electric utilities have agreed to assist us in the certification process as they are very interested in seeing our technology move forward.

Demand for high-efficiency solar power has never been higher as the market demands increasing amount of power 
that generate zero greenhouse gas emissions. The California Energy Commission has recently approval 2 more 
utility-scale solar power parks in the Southern California deserts. These 2 CSP solar power parks have a combined peak nominal production capacity of 650 megawatts. Over the past 12 months, the CEC has authorized about 4100 MW of new CSP solar power parks in the desert areas of California. The Desertec project in Europe is moving forward with solar power parks based on CSP - Concentrating Solar Power - which generates electricity using enormous amounts of water. The World Bank, in 2010, authorized investment of $5.6 billion to begin building CSP solar power parks for the Desertec project.  See:  www.Desertec.orgwww.ConcentratingSolarPower.com  or  www.ConcentratedSolarPower.com for more information.

Unfortunately, for these well-intentioned leaders and grand projects, there is little to no water in deserts! Our HCPV technology requires NO WATER for use in operation. We believe our HCPV solar technology is the superiod choice for these desert areas. 

Our Company's President, who is an engineer, led our HCPV R&D team and was responsible for securing 17 patents related to our solar technology. For 10 years, we generated electricity from our HCPV solar panel and delivered our power to the electric grid (at our R&D facility in Southwest U.S.) While some of our patents have expired, we possess the best solar technology which is also consider the "lowest cost solar power." See: www.LowestCostSolarPower.com for more information.

Compared with the other Solar PV technologies, located in sunny and dry climates, our HCPV solar technology 
requires:

* No water in operation 
* Less land 
* Is far less disruptive to the environment than Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) 

We believe our HCPV solar techology is positioned to replace traditional PV and CSP solar technologies for 
utility-scale projects (Solar Power Parks) located in the Southwest U.S., as well as the Desertec project in North Africa and Southern Europe. 

One of our competitor is only about 30% efficiency at the solar module.  They recently secured over $100 million in funding. Again, we are at 41% efficiency at the solar module. This means we generate more power in less space and at greater economic efficiency than our competition.

Our HCPV solar technology is superior to any other solar technology as we provide;

* Higher efficiency 
* Higher energy yield
* Lowest overall system cost 
* Large target- market

We are offering 30% equity in our privately-held company for the right Partner.  Serious inquiries only.  We require our potential partner to be "pre-qualified" by their CPA or tax attorney and ours before we will provide company documentation.  For more information, please review the following information before sending an email to us at:

MORE ABOUT OUR HCPV SOLAR TECHNOLOGY 

Our > 40% High-efficiency HCPV Solar Technology 
for Solar Power Parks Located in the Southwest U.S.

HCPV, or "High Concentration PhotoVoltaic," represents the highest efficiencies available in solar PV technologies.

The Renewable Energy Institute, in partnership with a U.S. based engineering company with over 30 years R&D in HCPV technology, is now offering this technology for locations in the Southwest U.S.  The Solar HCPV company specializes in the design, research/development and distribution of this HCPV technology which has surpassed the 40% efficiency barrier. While many of today's solar PV panels are considered "efficient" at 15%, our HCPV technology is already > than 40% efficiency, and in the near future, we will be increasing our efficiency to over 60%.  

Even at today's 40% efficiency, our HCPV technology provides nearly 3 times the economic revenues of any 12-15% efficient PV panel. And today, our HCPV technology is already the most efficient, environmentally-friendly solar technology available anywhere in the world.

While 15-16% efficient PV panels are still in high demand—mostly due to financial subsidies and incentives—these 15-16% efficient PV panels are NOT profitable without the economic incentives. Our HCPV technology is profitable from day one, even without financial incentives Investment Tax Credits, Feed In Tariffs, or any other government subsidies.  Thus, we foresee our HCPV solar technology to be the technology of choice not only in the short-term, but the long-term as well.

Our HCPV equipment is also the most reliable PV technology available today.  Unlike other solar PV technologies, our HCPV is superior due to the materials of construction (and without the toxic and lethal components of Cadmium Telluride used in other PV panels).

Finally, and most importantly, our HCPV solar technology does NOT decrease in efficiency with time; which is the case with all other PV technologies available today. 

Please review the following information regarding our HCPV solar technology and call/email the Renewable Energy Institute with any questions.

What is Transmission and Distribution?

Electric power transmission and distribution is the bulk transfer of electrical energy from the electric power generation plants to substations that are located near the population centers or "load centers" that are the consumers of the electric power.  Electric power transmission voltage and wiring is very different from the "distribution" wiring and voltage.  Electric power transmission may be as high as 768 kV whereas the electricity distribution within the load centers may be at 144 kVa.

What is Energy Resource Planning?

The purpose of Energy Resource Planning (ERP)seeks to utilize and integrate the requisite analytical concepts and tools necessary to approach the problems of planning for an adequate energy supply and demand balance at the local, regional and national levels.  With a greater focus on reducing and eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, there is an increasing emphasis on "Carbon Free Energy" and "Pollution Free Power."  Renewable energy resources and renewable energy technologies are viewed as the preferred path forward for providing for energy supply and demand in conjunction with Demand Side Management.

High Voltage Direct Current
www.HighVoltageDirectCurrent.com

What are the Advantages of "High Voltage Direct Current" Transmission Lines over standard AC Power Lines?

High Voltage Direct Current power lines have several distinct advantages over the typical AC power lines.  

High Voltage Direct Current, or "HVDC" power lines has the ability to transmit large amounts of power over long distances with lower capital costs and much lower electrical losses than typical AC power lines. 

Depending on the voltage level and construction details, losses for HVDC are about 3% per 1000 km. 

High-voltage direct current transmission allows use of energy sources remote from load centers.

In a number of applications High Voltage Direct Current, HVDC is more effective and efficient than AC transmission lines. 

Examples where HVDC is more effective, and efficient, than AC power lines, include the following:

*  Undersea cables, where high capacitance causes additional AC losses.

*  Endpoint-to-endpoint long-haul bulk power transmission without intermediate 'taps.'  

*  Increasing the capacity of an existing power grid in situations where additional wires are difficult or expensive to install. 

*  Allowing power transmission between unsynchronized AC distribution systems. 

*  Stabilizing a predominantly AC power-grid, without increasing maximum prospective short circuit current. 

*  Reducing line cost since HVDC transmission requires fewer conductors (i.e. 2 conductors; one is positive another is negative).

*  Long undersea cables have a high capacitance. While this has minimal effect for DC transmission, the current required to charge and discharge the capacitance of the cable causes additional I2R power losses when the cable is carrying AC. In addition, AC power is lost to dielectric losses.

*  High Voltage Direct Current transmission lines can carry more power per conductor, because for a given power rating the constant voltage in a DC line is lower than the peak voltage in an AC line. 

*  Increased stability of power systems - because High Voltage Direct Current transmission lines allow power transmission between unsynchronized AC distribution systems, it can help increase system stability, by preventing cascading failures from propagating from one part of a wider power transmission grid to another. Changes in load that would cause portions of an AC network to become unsynchronized and separate would not similarly effect a DC link, and the power flow through the DC link would tend to stabilize the AC network. The magnitude and direction of power flow through a DC link can be directly commanded, and changed as needed to support the AC networks at either end of the DC link. This has caused many power system operators to contemplate wider use of HVDC technology for its stability benefits alone.

Disadvantages of High Voltage Direct Current Transmission Lines

The required static inverters are expensive and have limited overload capacity. At smaller transmission distances the losses in the static inverters may be bigger than in an AC transmission line. The cost of the inverters may not be offset by reductions in line construction cost and lower line loss.

In contrast to AC systems, realizing multi-terminal systems is complex, as is expanding existing schemes to multi-terminal systems. Controlling power flow in a multi-terminal DC system requires good communication between all the terminals; power flow must be actively regulated by the control system instead of by the inherent properties of the transmission line.
