The Power-Spar® system, produced by Menova Energy, is a high efficiency solar concentrator that can be configured for electricity, heat, cooling and/or lighting solutions. The Power-Spar system consists of a parabolic trough reflector which concentrates the sun's energy onto a modular absorber. The absorber converts the sun's energy to electricity (via high efficiency multi-sun photovoltaic cells), or to heat (via a patented absorption surface), or transports the light to the building interior (via optical cabling).

The system is designed for easy integration with heat recovery systems, turbines, thermal-based chillers and geo-thermal solutions to maximize the thermal, electrical and lighting outputs. This efficient co-generation yields unprecedented value.

Capable of capturing up to 80 percent of the sun's energy, Power-Spar systems can reduce typical building energy bills by as much as 70 percent annually.
