JLM Energy, an energy technology company, introduces Gyezr, a family of solar thermal collectors built for commercial applications. Gyezr solar thermal collectors utilize commercial grade technology to deliver solar-powered hot water generation.
“Solar thermal technology is a tremendous energy saving opportunity for industries that use a lot of hot water. Solar thermal is four times more efficient than photovoltaic solar when it comes to its ability to harvest the sun’s energy,” said Farid Dibachi, CEO of JLM Energy Inc. “Until now, however, commercial users of hot water did not have access to commercial grade solar-thermal technology. With Gyezr we bring this opportunity to our customers.”
“Solar-thermal is a real money saving option for our customers in Agribusiness, food processing, hospitality, and commercial-residential markets. JLM’s focus on reliability, scalability and flexibility provides us with the opportunity to service commercial customers that we couldn’t reach before,” said Bret Hummer, CEO of Modern Method Roofing and Construction.
“Gyezr is the first solar-thermal collector that has incorporated microcontrollers for monitoring and safety into each collector. This is a key piece of technology required for large commercial installations,” said Kimberly McCollum, Vice President Sales & Marketing of Quality Electric Supply, Virgin Islands. “Being able to tell my customers that they can monitor their energy usage wirelessly in real-time is a huge selling point.”
The microcontroller is a self-powered, wireless device that can give real-time updates on temperature and performance statistics to a customer over the internet. If an over-or-under temperature is sensed in any of the Gyezr collectors, the microcontroller will empty the collectors thereby protecting the system.
“With lightweight and low profile construction, Gyezr can be designed around any physical restrictions imposed by a building's structure. Gyezr can be scaled for projects such as hospitals and food processing plants. This presents a large and untapped opportunity for JLM,” said Kraig Clark, Chairman of JLM Energy Inc.
