Global Warming Solutions claims further efficiency breakthroughs with LETG technology

Thursday, 10 January 2008

Global Warming Solutions, Inc. has said that it has made further efficiency improvements with its Light Electric Thermal Generator (LETG) technology with the development of dual-sided laminated solar panels.

Previously, the company had claimed that the efficiency levels of its single-side LETG had been improved by 11-15 percent but the move to double-sided design has seen efficiency levels increase by 38-56 percent on average.

“We started out with an efficient technology that produced photovoltaic electricity 2.5 times more effectively than conventional solar panels. Then we increased our electric conversion efficiency by 11 percent as a result of developing a unique coating for the solar panels in our system. Now we have further increased conversion efficiency to 38 percent by shifting to a dual panel system,” said Dr. Alexander Kornaraki, Chief Operating Officer of Global Warming Solutions. “We are extremely happy with these results and believe the technology is very close to being ready for implementation as the foundation for a new generation of Solar Power Plants.”

No specific plans for full-scale production have yet been released.
