June 3 – US firm Cyclone Power Technologies Inc (OTCMKTS:CYPW) on Thursday announced agreements with Mexico’s G2E SAPI de CV that will see the companies partner on solar systems for off-grid applications using Cyclone’s technology.

Cyclone said that over the next six months it will build a beta solar site that will be developed using a combination of proprietary solar panels, thermal storage unit and engine to produce electricity from solar energy around the clock.

As part of the engineering development agreement, Harry Schoell, Cyclone’s inventor and chief technical officer, will go to Mexico City in August to assist the G2E engineers in the design of a portable system based on the US company’s panels, engine and storage for remote area power generation. Under the systems application license agreement, G2E will have the rights to build and sell the solar systems, excluding military, in Latin America, New Zealand and Australia.

“With the Cyclone power package we feel that we can be in production in late 2017 for our rural developments,” said Daniel Camarena of G2E.

Cyclone president Frankie Fruge explained the company’s thermal storage unit was biodegradable, unlike traditional power storage batteries, and could store heat from the sun or thermal of any source which could be used as the fuel to power the Cyclone engine to produce electricity.
