New SunCatcher Solar Dish Spells Relief for Rust Belt
The new SunCatcher solar power dishes at a Sandia National Laboratories test facility in New Mexico could bring new life to the ailing automobile industry. Made of stamped sheet metal, the SunCatcher can be produced in a process similar to that of car manufacturing. That’s no accident: Stirling Energy Systems designed the system to take advantage of the tried-and-true automotive supply chain in the U.S. With Michigan already pitching itself as the new home of the solar industry, the SunCatcher could help bring new life - and a new sustainable purpose - to the Rust Belt and other manufacturing regions.
