| Sun West Solar focus is alternative clean energy development of solar power. SWS specializes in solar collector-photovoltaic design, fabrication and installation from residential, industrial and solar farm sized systems. Our solar electrical energy production products are based on the proprietary Barksdale collector technology. Collector panels (modules) are our primary manufacturing elements composed of 150X suns collection focused on state-of-the art photovoltaic cells. These collector panels are assembled into larger custom applications depending on the output desired and the physical mounting requirements. |
Energy Industry Background Americas
voracious demand for energy shows no signs of abating anytime soon. The U.S. burns through
20 million barrels of oil per day and is projected to use 28.3 million barrels per day by
2025, which will result in double the amount we import. The total energy use of petroleum,
natural gas, nuclear and renewables is projected to increase 38% by 2025. Spencer Abraham,
the Secretary of Energy to President George W. Bush, has predicted
that Americas growing electric power needs can be met only if we build between 1,300
and 1,900 new power plants by 2025! For solutions, scientists are going back to basics
to the sun.[1] Most estimates place a 50-year cap on the fossil fuel age before the supplies dwindle; our consumption on a worldwide level becomes too high, forcing the prices into a vicious upward spiral. As commonly known, our society must continue to more forward with cost-effective renewable alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, thermal, etc. Were going to need everything we can get from biomass, everything we can get from solar, everything we can get from wind, says Michael Pacheco, director of the National Bioenergy Center, part of the National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL) in Golden, Colorado.[2] [1] Robbins, Michael.
