Sungate Energy Solutions is always interested in new techniques of harnessing the sun’s energy. The concept of solar islands is quite interesting. A solar island is an artificial, circular, and man-made floating membrane. Solar panels are placed on these membranes to collect solar power. They are mobile and can be moved as the sun moves.

Thermal panels are placed on top of a large membrane which is able to turn to the position of the sun as it moves. They are often placed on large bodies of water. There is a high pressure steam tank that sits on top of the island. Under water pipelines conduct steam to the shore or to a waiting ship. Steam turbines generate up large amounts of electricity. Onshore, the same version of the solar island can be built about twenty meters above the ground or sea level. These usually have to be built near a large body of water or in the midst of a desert. For both types of solar islands, an over pressure system enables the floatation of these islands.

Sungate is enthusiastic about any alternative to the fossil fuel needs that are now worldwide. The concept of solar islands is a low cost concept of solar energy panels build on a very large scale.
