Proprietary Support Material
Proprietary NH3 Harvesting Process
See you in Paris March 2019!
We started Starfire Energy in 2007 to focus on residential solar electric system installation.
We quickly found that people needed help with existing solar water heating systems and maintenance of solar electric systems that other companies no longer supported. We expanded our service options to serve that need.
We started working with the Electric Power Research Institue, installing flat plate and 2-axis concentrating photovoltaic systems for them at their SolarTAC research site. This gave us great insights into prototype energy technology testing.
In late 2015, the Department of Energy ARPA-E program notified us that we would receive a $1.4M research grant to develop a fast-ramping clean NH3 synthesis system. We stopped taking on new solar work then so we could focus on the NH3 fuel work.
Joe’s background includes laboratory research, co-founding a thin film PV startup, and solar photovoltaic and thermal system design/build/repair. He has a PhD in Applied Physics.

Jon has a MS in Engineering Systems. His background includes operating a wide range of scientific equipment, repairing many types of equipment, and working in a major semiconductor device fabrication company.
Adam has a PhD in Materials Science. His background includes thin film deposition and characterization and photoelectrochemical hydrogen device materials testing.
We will soon be hiring two more engineers to work on our prototype clean NH3 synthesis system and converting internal combustion engines to run on clean NH3 fuel.
