Solar Heating Costs Drop From 15 year Payback to 6 Years with SolarBeam from SolarTron Energy System

Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada (ots) - The SolarBeam Concentrator
can provide up to 10kW of heat per hour (34,144 BTU's). SolarBeam is
262%more efficient than flat panels. The payback period is only six
years, compared with 20+ years for flat panel or 15 years for
evacuated tubes when used in process heat applications. SolarBeam
will have SRCC, Solar Keymark and Watermark certifications for
rebates. The only parabolic concentrator in the world that will have
all 3 certifications.

SOLARTRON Energy Systems Inc., Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada has
developed the SolarBeam Concentrator which can provide more solar
heat (about 34,144 BTU per hour) than conventional hot water and
process heat systems at an affordable price. The payback period
(after rebates) is only six years, compared with 15 years for
traditional flat panels in high temperature applications.

The SolarBeam Concentrator system is simply the most efficient
solar hot water system available. Since it concentrates energy on a
focal point using a parabolic mirror, the SolarBeam is 262% more
efficient that hot water panels and 98% more efficient than evacuated
tube technology. In addition, the SolarBeam concentrator is equipped
with a computer-controlled dual-axis tracking system that maximizes
solar concentration equivalent to 350 suns, which means more
efficiency throughout the day.

SolarTron Energy Systems Inc. is leading a movement to make solar
heating technologies more energy-and cost-efficient by developing
concentrated solar power (CSP) technology that utilizes a reflective
parabolic mirror to collect solar energy onto a focal point to
produce a high amount of heat. "Our engineers designed the SolarBeam
as a durable, rugged, and most importantly, affordable commercial
unit," says Edward Herniak, founder and CEO.

The SolarBeam uses patent-pending technology to provide 10kW of
heat per hour throughout the entire day. "1 SolarBeam can heat 700
liters from 12 Celsius to 85 Celsius in 5.5 hours" says Herniak.
With the SolarBeam you can make a major impact to reduce green house
gas emissions and lessen your dependency on fossil fuels, whether in
the form of electricity, natural gas, or oil. Multiple stand-alone
systems can generate thousands of kW or BTU required for even the
most demanding applications.

The SolarBeam is ideal for all business, commercial and industrial
applications. It allows a business to harness the full potential of
solar thermal energy to heat buildings and water. It not only helps
lower costs, but also reduces the amount of harmful emissions
produced. For example, its solar hot water system is perfect for any
application that requires a high quantity of hot water at 95 Celsius,
such as bottling plants, hospitals and process applications.

SolarTron Energy Systems Inc. sells the SolarBeam through
distributors and installations are happening in Kenya, Australia, USA
and Canada. Many distributors are excited about adding the SolarBeam
to their product line because it is the first commercially available
parabolic system and it has an excellent pricing.

In addition, the SolarBeam produces more power during the course
of the day compared to other systems because of its patent-pending
celestial tracking system. The SolarBeam is able to follow the sun
throughout the course of the day, with 100% accuracy. See how the

In applications where the solar hot water system will be installed
on a flat roof, a different mounting application is used. The
mounting of SolarBeam on the roof is a perfect option for apartment
buildings, hotels, offices, grocery stores and retail stores.

The SolarBeam kit includes the SolarBeam Dish (4.5 m wide), 2.6 m
steel post, celestial tracking system, power train and heat
exchanger. Please contact SolarTron Energy Systems directly for
information on how to purchase the kit and become a distributor.

The solar hot water system is designed to take advantage of the
parabolic curve performance of a reflector which is the most
efficient means of collecting solar energy. By utilizing the
parabolic curve, the SolarBeam hot water system focuses the sun's
intensity onto the focal point, where the absorber is located.

The solar absorber is made of solid aluminum block to maximize the
thermal transfer to the poly-glycol fluid. Incredibly, the absorber
is very small (10" x 10") but has the ability to provide 10kW per
hour (34,144 BTU).

In summer 2012, SolarTron plans to deliver a photovoltaic module
to produce up to 4 kW/hour of electricity from a single system, using
the latest concentrated photovoltaic technology. This module is 10
inches x10 inches and can be added to existing solar hot water
systems.

About the Company SolarTron Energy Systems is based in Nova
Scotia, Canada, The company is a manufacture of the SolarBeam
Concentrator which provides a payback of 6 years, compared to 15
years for solar flat panels when used in process heat applications.
The SolarBeam tracks the sun throughout the day, thus it is 262% more
