A Lakewood company that makes solar power collectors has been awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy for technology that uses solar power to desalinate water.

SkyFuel, which employs around 80 people in Lakewood, was granted $1.6 million by the U.S. Department of Energy for their patented membrane-based parabolic solar trough collectors. The company also has sister companies in China, Finland and Canada.
