We are Different

Get 10 years know-how in 2 hours

With over 10 years of experience, the team at SolarTron was able to revolutionize the concentrated parabolic market with their 4.5 meter dish.

After years of testing different materials and getting grant and investment money, they were able to build a robust parabolic dish that cost less than $8,000 to manufacture.

Our 2-hour workshop will share in-house secrets so that you can get your own company started with either investment or grant money. At present, there is 39.5 million in USA and over 100 million grant money in Europe available for innovative green energy projects.

We will help you get started in this exciting new field that is full of potential. 

SolarTron Energy is operated by Electron Test Equipment Limited (ETE). ETE provides leading-edge semiconductor test equipment and they have earned an excellent reputation for the quality and reliability of our semiconductor reliability test equipment.

Solartron Energy specialize in mechanical, optical, and electronic engineering. With our expertise, we have designed the most efficient and economical solar parabolic solar concentrator for use in utility and industrial CSP (concentrated Solar Power) for solar power plant applications.

From the optical to mechanical design, Solartron’s engineers, by the direction of the founder, Edward Herniak, have designed a complete system that can be manufactured in high volume and low cost.

When designing the solar concentrator, our engineers ensured that the mechanical assembly was designed for fast deployment to ensure low cost installation. The solar concentrator was also engineered with zero optical alignment which eliminates the need for alignment of the mirrors during the commissioning process.

Solartron was founded in 2010. The initial design of parabolic concentrator was a 4.5 meter system designed for low temperature applications below 94 Celsius.

With various climatic environments, the Solar concentrator was continuously refined to ensure performance and reliability in all geographic and climatic conditions for solar thermal applications.

The 4.5M solar concentrator outperforms any conventional flat panel, evacuated tube or trough for lower temperature applications.

In 2013, The 7 meter dish was built to further reduce the LCOE for solar thermal applications. The 7M solar concentrator was tested in Australia and utilized the latest dual-axis tracking technology.

The 9 meter solar dish was designed as a hybrid system to provide electricity and thermal energy.

This latest model has an LCOE of 4.4 cents and can reach $1/watt installed when used with CPV multi-junction solar cell technology. The 9 meter solar concentrator can provide concentrated solar power to various electricity producing systems such as:

Free piston Stirling Engine
HCPV / CPV Dense Array Module (utilizes multiple triple junction solar cells in one module)
Steam Engine & Organic Rankine Cycle Engine
