400°C
Low-cost solution for Industrial-Grade “Green Heat”from the sun, at temperatures up to 400°C
40%
40% cheaper than existing designs
30% – 70%
30% – 70% cheaper than existing non-renewable fuels
Uses heat from the Sun, heating the thermal medium. This in turn heats water and/or steam in a Heat Exchanger, may also serve as the Storage Unit.
Perflection CST collectors are Australian designed and built. As glass mirrors are not used, there are dramatic cost savings in manufacture, structure weight and concomitant installation costs. At end-of life (25+ years) all components are readily recyclable, closing the virtuous circle.
CST Heat produced will produce savings of 30% (June /July) and up to 80% in Summer on: Natural Gas, LPG, Diesel, Oil. Saving on Coal 5% (Fossil Energy prices as at 2019) CST heat has Zero Emissions.
The Solution
Impacts Solar is a renewable energy company, developing technology and projects for agriculture, industry and communities. Our proprietary solar thermal technologies concentrate and capture the heat of the sun to provide low and medium temperature solar heat for powering large-scale industrial and agricultural processes, water pumping, water supply, irrigation, mine dewatering and desalination. We replace conventional off-grid generation equipment with cost-effective solar thermal technologies to produce direct mechanical power. The process is more efficient than conventional PV and offers cost reductions for regional and remote areas where traditional fossil-fuel sources are costly and difficult to deliver.

Key Technologies and Products Under Development
- Impacts patented Perflection Ultra © High-temperature Concentrated Solar Thermal panel. Perflection Ultra is the world’s first high temperature panel able to reach temperatures of 400°C. Perflection Ultra is the same size but half the thickness and half the weight of a photovoltaic panel and is currently undergoing advanced prototype manufacture (Currently being commercialised).
- Impacts proprietary Solar Enhanced Waste Energy Recovery (SEWER) © technology. Impacts’ SEWER technology utilises high-temperature Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) energy to drive highly efficient hydrothermal carbonisation and liquification processes, to produce solid and liquid transportable and storable fuels from agricultural and municipal organic lignocellulosic wastes and effluent otherwise destined for landfill. The technology is currently entering the research phase with our university partners.
- Green hydrogen production. Impacts has put in place the necessary building blocks and capabilities to allow us to become a leader in the production of affordable green hydrogen, using high-temperature solar thermal steam electrolysis (STSE). We are currently finalising a partnership agreement with a global leader in the supply of solar salt, and with extensive interests in ammonia and green hydrogen production.
