Mass Megawatts Announces a New Solar-Power Technology that Boosts Energy Production by More Than 170%

WORCESTER, Mass., June 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc. (OTC: MMMW) www.massmegawatts.com today announced that the company’s patent-pending, Concentrated Solar Power Tracking System (CST) has been enhanced to work with traditional, photovoltaic solar panel systems, as well as thermal-based Sterling engines, to significantly drive-down the cost of power generation. The recent innovations will set a new standard for low-cost and reliable energy production.

Mass Megawatts reports the CST will generate 170% more energy than a traditional, non-tracking solar power system. This provides a significant reduction in the cost of solar energy production, bringing it to a level well-below existing solar power technologies, as well as below fossil-fuel based power generation systems.

The CST utilizes a low-cost, yet robust platform for concentrating the sun’s rays directly onto a central solar panel or Sterling engine that will convert the reflected sunlight into energy. The CST has reflectors that are mounted on the perimeter of a rotating, circular platform that continually adjusts its position to directly face the sun’s rays throughout the day. This provides a greater level of sunlight to reach the centralized panels or Sterling engine to significantly increase the level of power production.

The company’s innovative CST design solves a common problem with concentrated solar power systems that occurs when solar panels become overheated. The CST provides a heat shield for the panels that allows visible light waves to reach the panels while blocking the counter-productive, infrared heat-generating waves. This prevents the solar panels from overheating and maximizes solar power generation.

The Concentrated Solar Power with photovoltaic cells is projected to produce more than 170 percent more power output than a stationary project with the same amount of solar panels and without the tracker. While Mass Megawatts announced that more details are being disclosed today to reduce the cost of solar generated electricity in half using Sterling engines, we believe that the photovoltaic use of our concentrated technology would produce greater cost reductions and be a lot easier to construct. In the long term, concentrated solar using the new Sterling engine technology described later should be the best option to reduce cost since there are no expensive raw materials and the engineering will be less complicated.
