SkyFuel, Inc.

General information

Founded in 2007, SkyFuel, Inc. designs and manufactures innovative parabolic trough concentrating solar collectors. SkyFuel collectors harness solar radiation to produce steam for utility-grade electricity generation and industrial applications. The Company works with EPC partners around the world to supply technology to concentrating solar power (CSP) projects. SkyFuel offers an advanced, glass-free parabolic trough solar thermal collector, called the SkyTrough. It was engineered to minimize the cost of solar heat produced, making it the highest performance and lowest cost solar thermal power system in the world.

SkyFuel holds the exclusive worldwide license to manufacture and market the industry’s-leading high reflectance silver-polymer film, called ReflecTechPLUS. ReflecTechPLUS was jointly developed with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory with the goal of reducing the costs of solar technology. This film is for use as a mirror surface, primarily in single curvature solar technologies such as the SkyTrough. ReflecTechPLUS is the only high reflectance mirror film proven to be durable to outdoor environments for decades, and protected with an abrasion resistant hard coat.

The SkyFuel team consists of highly motivated and experienced professionals with backgrounds in solar and conventional power, mechanical and structural engineering, materials science, business, finance, energy markets, and environmental protection.
