Di.S.P.
Di.S.P.’s device produces electricity and heat using sun tracking Miniature PhotoVoltaic Concentrators. It is a comprehensive (CHP) system with approximately 75% efficiency, intended for on-grid customers. In good solar conditions the system can deliver as much as 40% more electricity than competing photovoltaic systems as well as large amounts of heat at high temperature (above 100 degrees Celsius). This high quality heat is suitable for steam generation, cooling and Air Conditioning (using absorption cooling), space and water heating and process heat.

EDIG Solar
EDIG Solar has developed an advanced solar-hybrid gas-turbine engine (IP protected) founded upon its long lasting relationship with the Weizmann Institute of Science. The system offers a unique modular solution to green power generation, comprising small Base Units (100kW each) that are strung together, building up into a large power plant, tailored to the customers’ needs (see Fig.1). When the available sunlight is not sufficient (during cloud cover or at night), the system operates on any alternative fuel source (fossil fuel, bio fuel), thereby guaranteeing an uninterrupted power supply, 24hr/day.

EWA Technologies Group
EWA Technologies Group (EWA: for Earth, Water, Air), is developing a solar powered air conditioning system that converts solar energy to a low cost energy system that harnesses the sun’s power and uses it to create cooling.EWA’s solar cooling process is basically simple: A special solar collector collects and stores solar energy, and then transforms the accumulated energy into effective cooling. A special granular material, placed within the solar collector, reacts with a special liquid cooling fluid that send cool air into a room or office in a process similar to an inter cooling radiator system in an automobile.

IC Green Energy
IC Green Energy (ICG), a member of Israel Corp. Group, is a new ambitious player in the alternative energy market. ICG’s activities are planned to span the globe.Our focus is primarily on renewable energy sources, such as biofuel (biodiesel & ethanol), solar energy and the production of Biofuel and energy from biomass. We are seeking opportunities in both developed and developing nations, pursuing potential M&As and partnerships with like-minded businesses.

Luz II
LUZ II (a subsidiary of Brightsource Energy) plants generate electrical power by using solar energy to convert water to superheated steam. Solar fields reflect sunlight onto a receiver located on the top of a Power Tower. Each Power Tower module is linked by pipelines to a central location where superheated steam and electricity are produced. 
The first installation is being built in Israel as a pilot plant. The plant will commence operations in 2008. A series of 100 MW and 200 MW commercial solar power plants are scheduled to come on line in 2010.

MST
The technological concept chosen by MST is “concentrated sun energy”, as a means to reduce solar cells area (a major cost factor in flat panel solar plants) coupled with multi-junction solar cells. Actual most performant cell was announced in July 2003 by Spectrolab, having an efficiency of 37%
These two technologies, when combined, will be at the basis of the cost reduction planned by MST. The major cost reduction element will be achieved by the erection of an automatic production and assembly lines.
