About Us
Artic Solar manufactures the biggest improvement is solar heating in over 100-years. Artic Solar recognized a huge gap in the commercial markets for high temperature solar thermal. Existing technologies could not economically provide temperatures reaching between 200F and 400F degrees.
These markets include applications for:
o Air-Conditioning systems,
o Commercial Refrigeration,
o Industrial Process Heat,
o Desalination and
o Generate Electricity
Artic Solar has acquired an exclusive license to manufacture a patent pending, revolutionary high temperature solar technology that can fill this gap.
The XCPC solar collector is the only concentrating solar technology that operates at temperatures between 200oF-400oF in any climate without the complicated and costly tracking systems normally needed to generate these temperatures.
• Lowest cost of any solar technology
• Produces the lowest cost of energy,
• Competitive with today’s lower natural gas prices.
• Highest savings or reductions for Green House Gas emissions and
• Unlike many solar collectors and technologies -- Made in the USA.
The Artic Solar management team includes the most capable and experienced people in the solar Industry, they know the market, the competition, how to go to market and how to succeed.

I have spent the majority of my career educating consumers and contractors in the Residential, Commercial and Industrial solar sectors. It is very hard to measure whether or not it is successful in selling or closing deals. It certainly helps with understanding the technologies, cost and benefits but it doesn't always lead to sales. Consumers and facility managers are better educated, have resources for further investigation and understand budgets and capital expenditures. But, sales will always require the salesperson to be at the table with a proposal and usually after the education is completed and the consumer is ready to buy.
DeWayne: That is a great question. I built a home in Lake Mary, Florida in 1985, we had solar hot water, swimming pool heating, and a small PV system. In those days PV stood for "Potentially Viable". In fact there we no "Grid" connected Inverters. The building department made me run an AC & DC...

DeWayne: That is a great question. I built a home in Lake Mary, Florida in 1985, we had solar hot water, swimming pool heating, and a small PV system. In those days PV stood for "Potentially Viable". In fact there we no "Grid" connected Inverters. The building department made me run an AC & DC circuit in the home. The DC was required to be run in conduit. There were AC & DC distribution panels in the garage along with the 12VDC battery storage system. To be honest the PV system brought no value to the home the solar thermal systems did. In fact, I had to remove the PV system, repower the 12VDC with AC power and remove all the DC fixtures and fans to sell the house in 2000 when I joined Duke Solar in NC.
Things have changed dramatically, the PV industry now owns the term solar and it is one of the fastest growing sectors for power and jobs in the world. Many people see the economics and benefits of owning their own power generation system. As pricing for storage continues to drop many homes will be Net-Zero electricity users and Renewable Solar Heating will still provide solutions for those with thermal loads for HVAC and hot water which is just about everyone. It can be clearly demonstrated that home with Solar PV and Solar Thermal systems are cost effective and bring significant value to their property. No or virtually very low utility costs which may result in a slightly higher mortgage but still less than a mortgage and high utility bill every month.
Our technology is not a residential product, we focus on Industrial Process Heat, Steam and Solar Thermal Air-conditioning & Refrigeration. The 300-400 degrees Fahrenheit we generate with our XCPC technology are way to high for a home. This has opened a new chapter in the Solar Heating industry, solving the thermal loads for the Commercial & Industrial markets.

Marketing is very important when introducing new advanced technology. We are adding customer interactive calculators to our website to allow interested parties to size the solar array needed for their application, be it Process Heat, Steam or Solar Absorption chillers for refrigeration and air-conditioning. The calculator will also determine the estimated performance based on location and the economics or estimated savings based on their type and cost of fuel. This web based calculator will allow facility managers or engineers to get an idea of what they can expect and look at the data for themselves. This will save me a ton of time so I will only need to field calls from companies who have seen the data and have additional questions. Allowing me to focus on new customers and sales, rather then doing sizing and economic calculations for everyone who may be interested in high temperature solar thermal applications and systems.

Raising capital as a start-up is very difficult. There is no such thing as Angel Investors, they all want a guaranteed ROI and a plan to grow the revenue stream. I've beat my head against the wall for many months and have tried just about everything. We also tried working with an Investment Banker who saw us as a revolutionary technology to raise capital. Best we could do was loan as a line of credit and issued warrants to get capital. We are finally getting traction in the market and no longer looking for investors but it's been a challenge. One word of advise stay clear of the investment or Angel organizations wanting you to pay to present. You are just buying the meals for the investors looking for the next big thing and the salaries of the organizers.

Our projects take time to develop, season has little effect. Sales are directly related to the seasonal construction cycles based on weather, financing or senior management signing off. As a growth company we are fielding tons of inquiries which may or may not turn into projects. We are seeing much more interest from some of the Fortune 500 companies looking to diversify their Renewable Energy portfolios and looking at their use of fossil fuels for Heating/Cooling as another method of reducing their carbon footprints using advanced solar thermal solutions.
#1 why I would, is controlling future energy costs. I would install a solar water heating system before PV
#1 why I would not, is if I didn't have at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight necessary to make a business case for PV or limited access to the existing water heater. (ie. under staircase)

I have been in solar for 37 years and also trained as a Home Energy Rater. I believe every home listed for sale should be tested and have an energy rating report available to any buyers. I also think the Home Inspections required by most lenders should include duct testing and air infiltration tests. These things would create more "Green" jobs and get the housing market on the right track to efficiency.
