SOLAR SOLUTIONS
Sustainable
electricity and water
A
trend for the 21st century - now
The
world needs new sources of energy and water.
Solar energy is efficient and competitive.
Large scale exploitation of the sun’s energy will become a reality.
SOLAQ initiates
the development of combined Thermal Solar Desalination
Power Plants:
Solar Thermal Power Plants apply Concentrating Solar Power (CSP)
technology. Specially developed mirrors concentrate the solar rays onto
the boiler of a conven-tional thermal power station. The waste heat is
applied to distil seawater.
SOLAQ
produces
ELECTRICITY and WATER
SOLAQ
deals with
implementation of Solar Energy on a wide scale:
- specification
- design
coordination
- financing
- project
management and construction supervision
- operation
- ownership

Solar Power Plants generate both electricity and fresh
water on a sustainable basis.
Compared to
conventional power stations SOLAQ
power plants use much
less increasingly expensive oil and employs more local workers
SOLAQ
stimulates the local economy and saves the country foreign
currency.
All this can be
achieved via alternative applications and combinations:
- pure
solar operation during daytime only, delivering
electricity or steam
- solar
operation with heat storage for 24 operation
- solar
operation combined with auxiliary fuel firing for
nighttime coverage
The capacity of
CSP-desalination plants can range from 1 MWe up to
large plants of tens and in future hundreds of MWe’s.

Plant. High temperature steam is generated by concentrated sunlight ,by
burning fuel or from thermal storage.
SOLAQ technology
(CSP) differs entirely from Photo Voltaics (PV), the
technology of the well-known solar panels. Electricity from CSP is
three times cheaper than electricity from PV.
SOLAQ firmly
believes in combining advanced technology and know-how
with local skills and workmanship.
SOLAQ envisions the
development of Solar Power and Water Plants in
North Africa, catering for local energy and water consumption and for
exports of electricity to Europe.
SOLAQ has the
ambition to invest also in the Middle East and certain
areas in the Caribbean. And in China, Australia and Southern Africa.
And with further refinement of technology, more applications will come
in sight.

yellow, and red regions are excellent locations for solar thermal power
plants.
When choosing the
right location for the right market, Concentrating Solar Power (CSP)
technology can be economically viable today, certainly with oil prices
at more elevated levels.
With more plants built, more markets will become viable as investment
costs will decrease as a result of higher efficiencies.
