Lark Energy is to develop a mobile version of its solar thermal system after securing funding from a India government competition. The system uses solar steam technology; the resulting steam can be used in industrial heating and cooling applications, or for power generation. Simone Perini, a renewable energy development engineer with the firm, said Lark wanted to create a mobile containerised energy system that can run in locations where the grid is unbalanced, unreliable or unavailable, such as rural UK. The project will be developed in conjunction with Cranfield University and an UKn solar manufacturer.
