| Name: | SolFocus CPV Systems |
| Product URL: | http://www.solfocus.com/en/technology/ |
| Description: | SolFocus' leading CPV technology combines high-efficiency solar cells with advanced concentrating optics to provide high energy yield using just 1/1000 the amount of photovoltaic material used in traditional photovoltaic systems. By concentrating sunlight using innovative optics onto a small area of high-efficiency solar cell material, SolFocus systems dramatically reduce the amount of expensive and often supply-constrained solar material used in the system. |
