The ability to affordably collect and concentrate sunlight is a fundamental requirement of today’s emerging solar energy solutions. Whether the collected sunlight is being used to generate distributed power from new high-efficiency concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) cells, grow microorganisms for biofuel production or CO2 sequestration, or used directly to deliver the highest-quality interior building lighting, a need for cost-effective and reliable collection of sunlight remains. Sunlight Direct has developed a concentrator platform that:
- Can accurately track the Sun with minimal maintenance,
- Concentrates sunlight with durable, low-cost optics,
- Can be used with a variety of solar technologies, and
- Is scaleable for installation on commercial rooftops and in wide-ranging environments.
Based on the SolarPoint™ Platform technology, Sunlight Direct has two product lines—SolarPoint™ Power and SolarPoint™ Lighting systems—that currently provide customer solutions to several large and growing markets.
