SolFocus "Recycled" CPV Systems
SolFocus "Recycled" CPV Systems
Many Photovoltaic Conversion systems are not a reliable solution due to their high costs and the large period of time necessary to retrieve your investment, but SolFocus Concentrated Photovoltaic systems are designed to offer you the lowest cost of energy. First of all, the CPV are made of recycled materials (over 95% glass and aluminum), which are cheaper, more reliable and easier to be maintained comparing to silicon or thin film cells.
The SolFocus CPV panels are guided by a dual axis tracker, designed by Inspira, which is already recognized for their pointing accuracy and tracking range, improving the efficiency by 40%. The primary and secondary mirrors are able to focus the solar energy up to 500 times onto the optical rod, which directs the solar energy to a very efficient solar cell. Many states offer financial help to achieve CPV systems, but regarding SolFocus CPV, you simply don’t need the help of the government to decide achieving them.
