Our Technologies

Our patented Perflection® concentrated solar collector design enables an installed cost 30-40% cheaper than any competing technology, producing process heat with zero emissions for 30-70% less than fossil fuels including natural gas, LPG, diesel and oil, and at a cost comparable with coal.

Existing large-scale Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) solutions for power generation have historically been too expensive for industrial use, and up until now there have been no viable renewable solutions for energy-hungry industrial and agricultural users requiring high-value process heat.

Perflection is built on the realisation that the cost of energy could be slashed by simplifying the manufacture and installation of existing proven CST technologies for large-scale power generation projects, that have been operating successfully around the globe for more than 40 years.

Perflection is a TRULY disruptive technology. Our elegantly simple design incorporates a series of small, confocal parabolic mirror facets in a compact, lightweight planar format, that focus reflected sunlight onto a central receiver tube and deliver equivalent performance to standard parabolic trough designs, at a dramatically lower cost.

• Design complexity is reduced
• Reduced weight and materials
• No complex joints and assembly methods.
• Proprietary unbreakable 1mm thick reflectors are lightweight and safe
• Manufacture and in-factory assembly uses robotic systems enabling high volume production

• Reduced onsite cranage
• Groundworks and foundations are minimised
• Project delivery timeline is reduced
• Insite labour, establishment costs and overheads are lower
• These factors contribute to the lowest installed cost

Our unique on-board cleaning system eliminates high OPEX costs associated with maintaining mirror cleanliness.

Introducing the Impacts Perflection® range of solar thermal collectors The world’s first mass produced solution for low-cost industrial-scale solar heat for temperatures from 75°C up to 400°Coffer.

• “Industrial Grade” heat up to 400°C from the sun.
• Lowest CapEx
• 30% – 70% cheaper than natural gas, higher efficiency.

At Impacts solar we use the heat of the sun to produce clean energy and green heat. For food production and processing, industry and communities.

Our proprietary solutions are:

• designed to replace high-cost depleting traditional fuels,
• cost-effective, renewable, zero emission energy alternatives,
• customisable and scalable to site specific conditions and customer needs,
• lightweight, fully automated and provide decades of low maintenance operation,
• designed for rapid deployment and ease of installation with minimum site labour, available with a fully integrated automated mirror cleaning system.

Our Services:

• Design and engineering
• Procurement and manufacture
• Installation and commissioning
• Build, own, operate, maintain
• Heat as a service (HAAS – zero capital cost)
• Project management.

With high efficiency thermal storage, Impacts can design and deliver reliable round-the-clock power and heat for significantly less than the cost of your fossil fuel solutions-slashing future energy costs while reducing your environmental footprint. And at the same time, insulating your business from reliance on expensive legacy systems, continuing cost increases, price volatility and supply disruption.

Impact patented Perflection series of solar thermal collectors utilise unbreakable curved mirrors to heat a central, liquid filled collector pipe to temperatures as high as 400°C. This heat can then be used for an almost limitless range of commercial applications.

Imagine eliminating most of the cost of running your conventional steam boilers and refrigeration systems. Perfection MIDI offers seamless integration with your existing steam system to provide long term sustainable cost savings for all your heating and cooling needs often at a fraction of the cost of gas, diesel or electricity.

Applications

• High value steam for abattoirs and grain flaking in feedlots
• Air conditioning, refrigeration, thermal cooling and chillers
• Food processing and canning
• High temperature / high pressure steam
• Industrial distillation
• Industrial process dewatering and evaporators.
• Zero liquid discharge systems
• High Temperature industrial processes
• Pharmaceuticals

Over the past decade Impacts Solar has developed a suite of in-house solar design tools, based on leading industry practice and validated against the standard System Advisor Model (SAM) of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

Our proprietary ISIS and ITRAC software can accurately predict solar radiation received, sunrise and sunset and declination and inclination angle, etc., at a particular location (latitude) with variation of day of the year and time of day, to within 3% accuracy level. ITRAC works in

conjunction with our purpose-designed microprocessor-based auto-controller hardware, which eliminates reliance on expensive third-party PLC hardware.
