July 14, 2006—WorldWater & Power Corp., developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with ENTECH, Inc. of Keller, Texas.
ENTECH, a private company formed in 1983, is a developer and manufacturer of advanced concentrating solar photovoltaic and thermal technologies for terrestrial and space power applications. ENTECH has developed record-breaking concentrator solar power systems, supplied solar power for space missions for NASA, and installed ground-based concentrating solar systems in North America.
With the combined technologies of WorldWater & Power and ENTECH, solar systems will be capable of generating and delivering electrical and thermal energy on site at prices competitive to retail prices without relying on rebates, the company says.
ENTECH’s patented concentrator technology also allows for the installation of massive solar “farms” with greatly reduced requirements for solar cell materials (silicon or multi-junction) and, when used in conjunction with WorldWater & Power’s technology, greatly reduces the reliance on rebates or other incentives for economic installations.
Due to the advantages of ENTECH’s concentrator, only 5% of the amount of silicon used in flat plate solar modules is required by current ENTECH modules to generate the same electrical power.
WorldWater & Power Corporation is a full-service, international solar electric engineering and water management company with patented solar technology that provides solutions to a broad spectrum of the world’s electricity and water supply problems. For more information, see the Web site.
