Insolight Solar Panels

The use of tiny space grade solar cells and lenses have enabled insolight to achieve a claimed 29 efficiency for its high tech solar panels which are currently at the commercial pre production stage.

Insolight solar panels.

Over the last two years our team has brought the product from a lab prototype to a full size solar panel connected to the grid and monitored 24 7. Since the solar light input is optically boosted insolight s modules can reach an optimum efficiency with only 0 5 of the surface covered by solar cells. Insolight solar panels february 22 renewables now the pre production solar panels of swiss r d company insolight sa have achieved an efficiency of 29 in real life conditions the company says. Insolight s pre production modules set a new efficiency standard of 29 for commercial solar panels.

Results were validated by the solar energy institute of the universidad politécnica de madrid ies upm setting the stage for large scale industrialization. Disruptive architecture for energy harvesting can integrate all solar cells. Panel efficiency 1 is continually improving but improvements tend to be incremental. Next gen rooftop solar panels achieve record efficiency insolight s pre production modules set a new efficiency standard of 29 for commercial solar panels.

Insolight is taking a whole new approach to creating high efficiency solar modules for the rooftop market. Results were validated by the solar energy institute of the universidad politécnica de madrid ies upm setting the stage for large scale industrialization. Usually solar cells collect sunlight on their entire surface converting it to electricity at perhaps 15 19 percent efficiency meaning about 85 percent of the energy is lost in the process. This approach dramatically decreases the cost of space grade photovoltaics and enables its use in a consumer product.
