Parabolic Trough Concentrating Solar Thermal Systems
IST
is the leading US producer of large-scale parabolic trough concentrator
systems. These patented, state-of-the-art systems have been deployed
throughout the US and the world since 1985 for water heating, space
heating air conditioning, steam generation, seawater desalination
and electricity production. Our systems have established new standards
for reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Recent Award
The American Solar Energy Society awarded the prestigious 'Hoyt Clarke
Hottel Award 2000' to the founders of Industrial Solar Technology
“for their unique contribution to make solar thermal technology
a commercial reality”.
Newest Advances
To meet the needs of commercial users for smaller scale thermal and
cooling applications, IST is developing the RMT
(roof-mounted trough) system. Available in late 2000, this system
will provide a lower cost, more efficient alternative to evacuated
tubes and flat plate solar collectors.
Business tax credits
There is a tax credit of 10% of system investment and a 5-year
depreciation currently available from the federal government.
