 Tamuz Energy Solution
 Provide high temperature heat (up to 300°C) solution for
commercial and industrial processes, e.g., steam
generation
 The heat can also be used for cooling and air conditioning
 Integrated receiver with inherent buffer storage solution
 The system will be cost effective without incentives
 Proof of concept was successfully operated (w/o storage).
Performance exceeds expectations

Proprietary information 18
 Tamuz-Energy cost effective solution for heat:
 High efficiency – single energy
conversion of irradiation to heat leads to
60%-70% energy efficiency
 Simple, Modular, Scalable and flexible,
integrated solution
 Good prediction of total available
energy
 Energy Hedging – Reduce exposure to
energy prices; more relevant than ever
 Green solution
 Cost effective system that is cost
competitive with heat from fossil fuels

Save energy expenses – very low LCOE

Potential ROI to customer ~ 3 years and below
 Technology – Concentrated Solar Heat
• Linear concentrating optics
• Monolithic structure, inherently aligned, simple
and inexpensive assembly
• Single axis tracking
• Integrated thermal energy storage (TES) for
buffering
• Proprietary high efficiency thermal receiver
with low heat loss
• Low profile, self contained modules
• Calculated overall efficiency: 65%

First Prototype (w/o TES) achieved outstanding results

Simple, innovative, efficient, inexpensive
