• ZenithSolar’s record breaking solar power generator with 72% efficiency

  • Zenith.jpgZenithSolar will soon give the world the most efficient solar energy generating system ever seen in human history, a world record breaker, the Solar Z20. Using the solar power to heat up water and generate electricity too, the system uses semi-parabolic optical mirror
    collectors. Installed in Kibbutz Yavne in central Israel, the Solar Z20 system has broken some previously held records by showing off a tremendous efficiency of 72%. Recently upgraded from a previous system that provided just enough water and electricity to the community around, the new system now generates enough to be sold back to the national grid! The 3rd Generation model of this system provides hot water for about 220 residents today.


    With efficiency levels like these, solar generators sure seem to have a sparkling bright future ahead!
