Direct solar thermal energy

Laurent in the parabola

Easily built with local materials and know-how, direct solar thermal technology is an immediate solution to part of the world's energy crisis. Furthermore, on the grassroots level it's capable of self-propagation. We're looking at the potential for an energy revolution in sunny regions of the planet! Don't just take our word for it. The renowned climate advocate Joe Romm has referred to solar thermal concentration as "The technology that will save humanity"1

A simple and inexpensive solar concentrator like the Petisos is enough to satisfy more than half of the thermal energy needs of a small family (cooking, heating, washing and even disinfecting drinking water).
