ABOUT US
Solatechs is a mixture of vibrant, motivated and ambitious engineering and sales personnel with a solid background and experience focusing on solar thermal energy. We listen to our customers and work with them to address their needs through innovative solutions.
Our Mission
We, Solatechs, are aware of the increasing demand and shortage of natural energy resources and believe that utilizing solar energy is of vital importance to help mitigate the issue.
Solatechs is aiming to provide turnkey energy solutions for commercial and industrial facilities. Whether during the design phase or by retrofits, our economically-feasible solar energy solutions will help business owners make huge savings in their energy bills, while simultaneously protecting the environment.
Our Vision
We aim to fast-forward the adoption of solar energy technology either on the commercial or industrial scale. Along with solar PV, we believe that utilizing solar thermal energy for steam generation and electricity production holds high prospects for the MENA region, for which we’re striving to play a leading role in providing the necessary supplying and engineering services.
Achievements
On 21 January 2014 at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, Solatechs has been identified as one of the top 10 Solar Pioneers in the Middle East for its contribution in the realm of solar thermal energy applications.
Products
Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Using Fresnel Technology
Solatechs designs, builds and operates solar plants for thermal energy production using its proprietary technologies in the field of CSP.
The in-house developed technologies are based on the principle known as Fresnel mirrors which brings many advantages: competitive cost of steam, modular conception, robustness, high local content and automatic operation
How the Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) linear Fresnel plant work?
The Linear Fresnel technology uses long, flat and slightly curved mirrors to focus sunlight onto a linear receiver located at a common focal point of the reflectors. The receivers runs parallel to and above the reflectors and collects the heat to heat/boil water/oil in the tubes. The reflectors make use of the Fresnel lens effect, which allows for a concentrating mirror with large aperture and short focal length.
Applications:
- Industrial Process heating.
- Solar water desalination.
- Solar enhanced oil recovery.
- Electricity production.
Why Using Concentrated Solar Thermal Power in Your Project?
- Linear Fresnel Concentrator design and low cost manufacturing is the key to the unmatched efficiency and lowest for energy production.
- Now, Solar Thermal steam generation is competitive than natural gas, diesel, and electrical boilers
- 100% Egyptian product with optimum quality.
Features:
- Lower investment cost and longer life time thank to usage of flat mirrors.
- Low wind-loads reduce breaking of mirrors and reduce cost for motors and gears.
- Higher land usage efficiency compared to other CSP technologies.
- Low operation and maintenance cost due to easy access and cleaning.
- System error monitoring.
- Temperature and pressure set point control.
- Multiple land use since collectors can be installed on rooftops.
Projects:
- French University: Solar Tower tracking control system and panel.
- Alexandria University: Supply and install of Fresnel Solar Thermal Collector (Temperature up to 300ºC)
- Residential Palace (Swimming Pool and water heating)
