Infinia Corporation featured on Public Radio

Northwest Public Radio did a feature this week on Kennewick’s Infinia Corporation, a company that’s come up with a new way to harness the power of solar energy. Rather than relying on traditional solar panels, Infinia has created what looks like a solar “satellite dish” — the dish follows the sun all day and concentrates the sunlight into power. Pretty cool. Here’s a photo from their web site:

There’s a funny exchange in the radio story about these dishes putting the fear of God into the employees of the bank next door.

“And they actually called us one afternoon and said, ‘Why do you have your death ray pointed at us?’”

Classic. And what an interesting concept Infinia has. Always great to see such innovations coming from local companies.
