With declining petroleum reserves, global warming and unpredictable climatic changes, we need to find some cheap, green and abundant energy. It makes sense to exploit and develop the most abundant energy we can find; solar energy. The Sun is an extremely potent source of energy. The total radiant energy arriving at the Earth's surface is enough to provide over 1000 times the energy required to supply the world's population with all of its domestic, transport and industrial needs. Therefore harvesting just 0.1 – 1.0 % of this renewable energy and converting it to electric power and stored chemical energy would assist in resolving a key question of this and future centuries: when fossil fuels run out, which energy resource can we turn to?
STREP has developed intellectual property that addresses the challenges and limitations of solar energy to date and offers a real key solution for the future. |

Winter solstice 2003, sunrise passage, Newgrange, Ireland. The Megalithic Passage Tomb at Newgrange was built about 3200 BC. The passage and chamber of Newgrange are illuminated by the winter solstice sunrise: a shaft of sunlight shines through the roof box over the entrance and penetrates the passage to light up the chamber. |
