"W2 Energy is first and foremost a renewable energy company, and there is no energy more renewable than solar energy," says Mike McLaren, CEO of W2 Energy. "Having Think Solar USA as a part of W2 Energy enhances our company and our brand."

David Freund, the President of Think Solar USA, also serves as the Vice-President of Business Development for W2 Energy.

"W2 Energy was looking to make solar-based steam for our biomass-to-energy plants. We were also building our Steam Ray engine to convert steam from our plants into electricity," says Mr. Freund, President of Think Solar USA. "We realized that we could make steam with concentrated solar energy and feed it directly into the Steam Ray, without first going into a biomass-to-energy plant. That's when Think Solar USA was born."

Think Solar USA is developing several proprietary technologies in order to efficiently turn solar power into electricity and process heat. They are developing the SunCatcher line of parabolic solar collectors and heat exchangers to turn solar heat into steam, and also the Steam Ray line or rotary steam engines for turning that steam into electricity.

"We have some cutting edge technology at Think Solar USA," says Freund. "At a time when the United States and the world needs green energy and green jobs, we think our company will be a big part of the overall energy and economic solution."
