2 Who is SRB-Energy? F.Segura Group More than 90% of the shares Automotive Industry Tier 1 supplier 600 Employees 5 Manufacturing Facilities 1 Engineering company dedicated to the car parts design Customers The company Prof. Cristoforo Benvenuti Doctor in Physics and CERN high management UHV Collector Inventor Actually leads the R&D division at Corp. SRB Energy

3 Alternative route to high temperature : Decrease thermal losses! Very low thermal losses may be achieved thanks to: Vacuum It is generally assumed that: A selective coating on the light absorbers Flat panels collectors are only adequate for low temperature application High temperatures may be obtained only by light focusing In this way 300 C are at reach without mirrors The flat plate evacuated solar collector Also the diffuse light is collected, which cannot be focused The diffuse component of solar light amounts to about 30% in the best solar areas, and exceeds 50% in Central Europe

5 Mirrors In spite of the good thermal performance of the panels, the addition of mirrors helps gaining on cost effectiveness and increasing the useful operating temperature, so as to cover, with the same panel, all the possible solar applications - Panel with cylindrical mirrors and lateral mirrors Concentration factor 2.68 Stagnationtemperature >400 C

7 Heating Industrial Agro Culture Chemical Industry Air conditioning/freezing Industrial Domestic Electricity generation Markets The unique feature of the SRB solar panel is that it may be used for all the Solar Energy applications, a field now covered by products of different design The SRB panel is particularly suited for applications in the temperature range C (for instance for industrial heat production and cooling / air conditioning) for which the panel performance is outstanding. Applications For the production of electricity the SRB panel efficiency is similar to that offered by parabolic through solar fields, but the mirror geometry is much less critical and the maintenance for cleaning much reduced. New plant configurations without tracking have been designed to reduce cost, and working to low temperatures. Steam turbines-traditional technology For low temperature applications (<100 C, domestic water heating) the SRB panel ORC Turbines dedicated to micro generation provides higher efficiencies than the existing flat panels in regions as Central Europe, where the available solar energy is reduced.
