"Try to understand that it is very difficult and complex to derive heat from the sun when there is low sunlight as it is in the winter, and to do so in a manner that is affordable and portable. For my demo tent the direct drive heating system is going to be quite impressive because it will weigh less than 20 pounds and can fold into a backpack.” –Damian de Caires, Electrical Engineer

 

Damian de Caires, a nationally certified solar engineer with eight years of experience in renewable energy efficiency, inventor, scientist, and electrical engineer, was inspired by the work of New York Sun Works and concerned by the lack of a public laboratory and science center in Newark, New Jersey. Caires seeks to provide more in depth training in renewable energy technology for the community and further the possibility to provide local jobs in the solar and renewable sector through technology research.
