Concentrated Photovoltaics

Using innovative photonics and low-cost manufacturing processes, HyperSolar is developing the world’s first thin and flat solar concentrator for standard solar cells.

Innovative and ground breaking SunBall™. Incorporating a high efficiency (>30%) solar energy concentrator, automatic dawn to dusk Max kWh Tracking™ internal 2 axis tracking system and Cool PV™ low operational PV cell temperature.

Pacific Solar Tech uses advanced dome-shaped lenses to concentrate sunlight 10 times onto small area solar cells (only one tenth of the lens size).

ENTECH provides advanced solar energy technology for a variety of applications, ranging from day lighting systems for commercial buildings to solar power arrays for spacecraft. Our inexpensive Fresnel lenses capture the sunlight, and focus it onto small solar cells, thereby reducing electricity costs compared to conventional flat-plate (planar) solar energy approaches.

Stellaris’ concentrating photovoltaic glazing (CPG) uses passive optics to concentrate light, reducing the amount of photovoltaic material required and greatly reducing the cost of photovoltaic modules and building-integrated systems.

Prism Solar Technologies, Inc. manufactures a new type of photovoltaic module that uses transparent holographic optical elements in its design. This innovative, patented holographic technology, collects and spectrally selects useful wavelengths from the sun and focuses them onto the cell to create electricity.

Solar ‘panels’ that blend solar concentration and tracking with transparent transistor technology. Can be visually well integrated on buildings.

JX Crystals champions Thermo and Solar Photovoltaic products that work together to generate heat and electricity by combining renewable solar energy with the most efficient use of fossil fuels. Infrared-sensitive gallium antimonide (GaSb) photovoltaic cells.

The Liquid Solar Array system is based on floating solar collectors made mostly of plastic. Each has a very small area of silicon photovoltaic cells at the water surface with a large, thin plastic focusing lens rotating slowly above to track the sun.

Our technology incorporates inflated photovoltaic collectors to enable solar energy farming at well below the cost of coal and other non-renewable energy sources.

Ultra thin optical structures that capture, transport and concentrate sunlight. Light is redirected onto tiny slivers of PV at the edge of the optic – not underneath. Eliminates the bulkiness of traditional CPV systems

Day4Energy develops proprietary photovoltaic (PV) technology solutions enabling affordable, efficient grid-connected PV energy systems. Highly efficient solar cells, BIPV applications, solar concentrator technology.
