This Australian solar collector was designed by us to their brief and won “Most innovative new product” at the InterSolar show in 2009
summary
Speed of assembly was the key to winning the award.
Designed this from idea through to finished product.
Fabricated structure design.
Composites design.
Tooling and Jig design
Prototype production and testing
the brief
Design and engineer a parabolic concentrating solar thermal system to be easy and fast to install and service. An existing design did not meet the
requirements so this was a ‘start from scratch’ exercise with a large amount of technical challenges.
solution
A very well engineered cost effective solution that enabled the client to begin selling their product in to a global market. The project took just over
one year to complete. The design is simple and elegant with minimum number of parts and fixings.
the result
This product won the award for the most innovative new product at the 2009 InterSolar show in Germany which is one of the largest solar shows in the world.
What the client says:
Martyn and the team did a fantastic job on this project for us overcoming many technical challenges. Im so pleased with the end result. I would highly recommend D&P if you have a technical product to design and you need innovation and excellence.
