An Israeli company that manufactures solar energy collector plates has licensed a Greek firm to produce the devices to provide hot water for hotels and other public buildings. Two Greek hotels, one on Crete and the other on the Island of Myconos, are now deriving their energy from solar plates patented by the Miromit Co. of Israel.
