Enertopia Answers Your Provisional Patent
Questions
Kelowna,

Corporation ("Enertopia'' or the "Company") a
company focused on building shareholder value through a combination
of our Nevada Lithium claims, intellectual property, & patents
in the green technology space is pleased to provide the following
update.
Since announcing
our provisional patent applications on May 25th and 26th we have
received questions from
shareholders, experts in the lithium mining space, as well as
chemical industry
professionals. We are appreciative of this growing interest in what
we are focused on achieving as we move to a net-zero carbon
world.
Here is a list of
the top questions asked and answers below:
- Can you explain how the excess heat from solar panels
is captured for utilization in the Li process?
The
first
provisional
patent ENERTOPIA SOLAR
BOOSTER TM
adsorbs
the radiant heat energy from the solar array panels, heats
the water running
through the jacket, then deposits it into a storage tank to be
reheated. This is done via provisional patent ones glazed adsorber,
which heats the claystone solution to the required process heat
temperature for extracting the Lithium.
- Can you explain what makes this process so unique in
the marketplace?
We are not
aware of any company using a carbon-neutral footprint to increase
the PV output, while
also using the resulting heat energy in their process water
cycle.
- Are any process/equipment modifications required for
the Li processing step when compared to traditional
methods?
We believe
current processing techniques or those in testing such as DLE
(Direct Lithium Exchange) will be synergistic with our carbon
neutral step.
- At what scale has this process been
demonstrated?
ENERTOPIA SOLAR
BOOSTER TM
is
currently undergoing small-scale
beta
testing.
- Are scaleup plans underway for the
technology?
ENERTOPIA SOLAR
BOOSTER TM
and
ENERTOPIA HEAT
EXTRACTOR TM
will
undergo larger beta testing. Upon successful multi-month testing
results, large-scale testing will take place at a facility that
currently has a 3MW total
capacity of
solar PV. We are
pleased
to
report the installation of monitoring for baseline data analysis
will be completed this week on 2MW of the
3MW array.
- Timeline of Provisional patents becoming
patents?
One has twelve
months from the filing date of a provisional patent to file for
patent-pending paperwork. The granting or denial of a patent from
the patent-pending application is normally 6 to 12 months pre
COVID.
The effect of temperature on solar panel
efficiency
Another goal of this project
will soon be put through beta testing and monitoring verification.
Upon completion of this testing phase, an unnamed 3rd party that
has a three-megawatt solar array has agreed for us to do real-time
comparative testing on their PV sub-arrays. The goal will be to
increase their PV production while simultaneously removing the heat
stress, which will, in turn, prolong the life of their PV panels, a
common problem associated with running solar arrays in hot, arid
regions.
Other aspects of heat stress
include heat fatigue causing permanent PV cell failure, string loss
downtime, and 100% production
loss.
With over 1.2TW (Terawatts)
of worldwide PV installed capacity, and another 100 Gigawatts of PV
capacity coming online per year, the inefficiencies that are
currently experienced due to overheating are quite extensive and
expensive. As the world transitions to a low carbon-based
energy system, we feel that there is a largely untapped market for
the Enertopia technology beyond just the
processing of lithium claystone. Our technology has been
designed so that it can be retrofitted onto existing PV panels, and
we are confident that our upcoming trial run at the 3-megawatt
solar array will validate the results we have seen in our own field
experiments.
Expected benefits of using
the Enertopia Technology:
*
A
Potential increase of >10% or greater on an annual basis in
electrical PV system output
*
Removal of panel heat
stress, which is a major contributor to below
nameplate output and panel failure.
*
Substantial Increase in PV
System lifetime, thus improving the ROI for all users from home use
to utility-scale solar projects.
"We recommend all
stakeholders visit our website enertopia.com for updated
presentations as they become
available
on the exciting
opportunity this next chapter brings as Enertopia continues to move forward."
Stated CEO Robert McAllister "Enertopia has made great strides
forward in the last year by continuing to develop our Nevada
lithium property, expanding into Green Technology has resulted in
several opportunities that we continue to investigate in improving
mining and society at the same time."
Conclusion:
We continue to believe that
the Lithium hosted claystone deposits in Nevada will become major
sources of Lithium production in the 2020s while offering the
United States a secure domestic supply of battery-grade Lithium
products. We are also excited to see and witness the convergence of
several technologies that are changing the very way we produce and
consume electrical energy amidst the growing opportunities for a
better world.
