FAQ
1. What is the Pyron Solar Triad?
The Pyron Solar
Triad is a patented and powerful solar concentrator that harnesses
the sun’s energy with high-energy conversion and unlimited scalability. In
developing the unique and proprietary HE Optics
System, Pyron Solar engineers
have overcome some of the most challenging issues affecting the implementation
of solar technology on a wide scale, including solar cell heat transfer, wind,
shadow and maintenance issues, and, of course, cost considerations.

2. What is the HE Optics System and how does it work?
Deceptively
simple and simply brilliant, the HE Optics System is the part of
the Pryon Solar Triad that actually collects the sun’s energy. Together,
the system’s three elements produce 800 times more electricity than
a similarly sized silicon solar cell. Sunlight first meets the HE
Optics System at its specially designed and patented, short focal
length, acrylic concentrating lens. As the rays pass through the
lens, the light reflects and refracts, raising the sunlight concentration
to 6,500 suns on a small pinpoint of light. A secondary optic, with
its specially manufactured glass body, captures this pinpoint and
deposits the concentrated solar flux evenly on a small multi-junction
PV cell.

3. The Pyron Solar Triad sounds wonderful. Can I buy one
for my home?
Not yet. Our current products address the
needs of utility companies, those with off-grid rural electrification
needs and larger commercial firms.
However, we recognize the appeal
of an economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly energy-generating
system suitable for homeowners and have plans to expand into this
market. Research continues and patents are pending on an exciting
new product. Stay tuned.

4. Can the Pyron Solar Triad be installed on a rooftop?
It
depends. If the roof area was adequate and special supports were
incorporated into the initial building design, a rooftop installation
of the Pyron Solar Triad is certainly possible. Given square footage
requirements and weight issues, it is unlikely that a rooftop installation
for residential or light commercial use would be an economical
or realistic option. Retrofitting any facility would also be a
challenge.

5. Who developed this innovative solar generator?
John
and Inge Laing, married physicists who have worked together since
they met as students at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany, hold
more than 300 patents and have a successful commercial track record.
Their company, Laing Thermotech, Inc, sells small-capacity pumps
and is a leader in instant hot water technology.
The Laings founded Pyron Solar, Inc., a privately held manufacturing
company, in 2004 after working for nearly 20 years on the technology.
Intrigued by the challenge of harnessing the sun’s power to generate
electricity economically, and determined to address the world’s environmental
woes, the Laings began what has become a true labor of love.
