"Concentrating Solar Technology -
installation on Flat Iron Building in Bethlehem!" |
This topic started when someone emailed me to ask, “What is that thing on the Flat Iron building in Bethlehem? I think it might be something solar.” They were right, a concentrating solar installation right in our own backyard! Yes, CEWA Technologies of Bethlehem is testing its new concentrating solar technology with its first commercial installation, on the Flat Iron building. Maybe you’ve seen it? (301 Broadway, Bethlehem, PA 18015) Concentrating solar systems use lenses or mirrors to focus a large area of sunlight onto a small area, a focal point. The CEWA Technologies concentrator dish is capable of providing approximately 32 kW of thermal power. The company reports that the system provides thermal energy at prices that are less than existing technologies and that are competitive with fossil fuels, without relying on government subsidies.
Speakers:
Diana Ortiz, The Stone House Group, “Zero-Carbon Neighborhood” in Bethlehem, PA

John Fangman, CEWA Technologies, Chief Technical Officer
