Belarms and Solar Energy Belarms is seeking to become a leading supplier of solar equipment aimed at electricity generation for town grids. For this reason Belarms seeks to not only manufacture the essential equipment, but also to build and maintain power plants as investments in utilities. Only by developing solar products and selling them to the international marketplace can the products prove their merits as useful items to society. Belarms sees the market as the only place to advance the company and its products. This should be done without government grants and by the merits of the products themselves. Solar energy is seen as the most environmentally friendly form for the generaration of electricity. However this should not be an exclusive activity for wealthy householders to clad their houses with photovoltaic cells, though this is a minor plus for the environment. Belarms develops solar equipment to permit generation to the grid and support the community electricity generation base for the good of all in our society. The process will be gradual and must be in co-operation with the main means of power generation, slowly working to replace the old technology. |
Diagram of parabolic trough for collecting solar energy The solar parabolic trough is a simple device to heat a pipe carrying a liquid or gas which is taken off to generate steam then electricity. The liquid or gas can also be channeled to an insulated storage tank so that electricity can be generated at night. The solar parabolic trough has the weakness of requiring a lot of land, however. |
Parabolic solar dish This is a prototype parabolic solar dish developed in Australia. Belarms does not intend to use this design, but note the three extending arms to hold a Stanley engine. |
Assembly of photovoltaic cells Most producers of PVC panels are merely piecing them togther in an assembly operation. A few large manufacturers control the PVC market for this high end solar product. |
Solar Energy Research Belarms is committed to scientific and engineering research in co-operation with universities along with our own company research teams. Further, scientific data collected is available for academic and research purposes. Programs will be put in place to sponsor student engineers so that there can be constant and reliable monitoring and maintenance systems in place to maintain energy systems for use by society, whether in small towns or in large cities. Product Development Product development is at the core of Belarms industrial efforts to ensure that maximum engineering efficiency is the basis for product quality. There are many components that have to be tested and re-engineered so that systems can be improved with the aim of ultimately reducing the cost of electricity to the consumer. Our primary focus is the conversion of solar energy (sunlight) into steam for generation and heat storage systems that permit overnight generation of electricity - 24 hour "solar" generation. Solar Energy and the Electricity Grid Solar systems developed and manufactured by Belarms for the generation of electricity are intended to be mainstream generating equipment for consistent, long term power generation sufficient to supply town grids. By developing mass production systems and the necessary engineering support, it is intended that through the efforts of our research scientists and engineers we will achieve a viable alternative means of production to the carbon based systems such as coal, oil and gas which are the primary causes of the stresses on the environment of our planet. Commitment to remote communities History, geography and the realities of the rural economy have caused communities to develop in remote locations. However modern living in such locations is constantly hampered by the high cost of electricity generation. Further, the reliability of the generators - usually deisel - is a constant problem. Belarms pledges to make maximum efforts to resolve this problem forever. |
Preparing a photovoltaic cell panel This labor intensive activity is one reason PVC solar products are expensive. Most such operations in western countries soon fold. |
Finishing a photovoltaic cell panel An additional cost for PVC panel manufacture is the need to maintain a dust free factory environment. |
