ANNAPOLIS, MD, United States, via eTeligis Inc., 05/27/2014 - - Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCQB: SWET) (the "Company"), the inventor of large Solar Wind Downdraft Tower structures capable of producing abundant, inexpensive electricity, announced today that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Invest Africa, Inc., a Florida corporation, including subsidiary companies: Invest Africa Nigeria (Pty) Ltd., Totem Pitch Investments (Pty) Ltd., (Botswana), and Invest Energy Services (Pty) Ltd. (Namibia) referred to collectively herein as "IAI", which granted IAI a "Negotiations Period" for rights to license trade secrets, patents, and knowledge from Solar Wind Energy. During the "Negotiations Period" IAI has the exclusive right to hold itself out in Namibia and Botswana, Africa and to enter into a long term "Definitive Agreement" with Solar Wind Energy to use the rights to develop Solar Wind Energy Downdraft Towers in Namibia and Botswana, Africa.

 

Under the "Definitive Agreement" Solar Wind Energy will provide technical support and personnel to advise and assist IAI in project development, design, procurement, construction and the operation of a Tower Facility. Solar Wind Energy will also assist IAI with the technical and feasibility studies as well as presentations necessary for proposals to the agreed upon nation's Government ministries and potential participants in the project(s). The Memorandum of Understanding outlines terms of the license fees for Namibia and Botswana, Africa, as well as specific recurring royalties and fees for each Tower Facility within the territory.

 

Ronald Pickett, CEO, Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. commented: "We are pleased to have formed this relationship with IAI. We have worked diligently for over three years assembling the team, techniques, and know how to enable this clean alternative energy solution to be brought to market. Our business plan is to enable developers to materialize projects across the globe where weather conditions are most suitable. The IAI regions in Africa also provide prime environments for the Tower, and the desire and need for power in Africa is extremely high. Since our recent announcement that the Company has secured the site for its first Tower project in Arizona, we've been interviewing candidate companies interested in pursuing international opportunities. The Company is now focusing on the Middle East as the entire area is ideal to support Tower projects and we are evaluating a number of potential alternatives".

Innovative Renewable Hybrid Solar / Wind Energy Technology 

The simplicity of the Company's hybrid solar/wind technology solution is found in its ability to harness the natural power of a downdraft created within the confines of its Tower structure, a hollow cylinder reaching skyward into the hot, dry atmosphere heated by the solar rays of the sun. The water introduced by the injection system near the top of the Tower evaporates and is absorbed by the hot, dry air. The air becomes cooler, denser and heavier than the outside warmer air and falls through the cylinder at speeds up to and in excess of 50 mph. The air is then diverted into wind tunnels surrounding the base of the Tower where turbines inside the tunnels power generators to produce electricity.

 

The Company has successfully managed to economize the Tower, reducing capital costs and improving projected financial performance. This development was made possible by utilizing the Company's Energy Generation Calculator software, which can calculate and predict energy production of a Tower given a site's local weather data. By feeding the weather data into the program, the Tower's height and diameter can be adjusted along with the amount of water added as fuel to create a desired amount of energy. The outcome dictates the optimum size of the Tower's height and width. Under the most recent design specifications, the first Tower in San Luis, Arizona has a design capacity on an hourly basis of up to 1,250 megawatt hours, gross. Due to lower capacities during winter days, the average hourly output per day for sale to the grid for the entire year is approximately 435 megawatt hours/hr.
