What is….

The Solarus Power Collector^TM is a concentrating, hybrid solar photovoltaic and solar thermal panel. Concentrating means that it has a curved mirror to collect and reflect more sunlight throughout the day. Hybrid means that it combines solar photovoltaic (PV) generation of electricity with solar thermal (T) generation heat.

It is a C-PVT Power Collector™

Both Active Cell Cooling (ACC) and MaReCo (Maximum Reactor Collector) technologies, makes the Power Collector™  the absolute highest performing thermal collector on the planet. Furthermore, the Power Collector™ is the first PVT system that can be mounted in-roof.

Where is it used…

RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
Our Power Collector™ is an efficient product to provide residential homes with clean & abundant solar energy.

HOSPITALITY
The Power Collector™ is ideally suited to be employed in the hospitality industry where an attractive electricity / heat profile is used.

• Heating your tap water such as for showering
• Heating water for cleaning purposes
• Heating up your swimming pool
• Heating water to heat spaces

FOOD INDUSTRY
When hot water is used in industrial processes, there is a business case for the Power Collector™. In the Food & Beverage industry a lot of hot water is used for cleaning purposes and heating of ingredients.

A choice for the Power Collector™, which delivers most renewable energy per square meter, is therefore a very rational decision.

How it benefits

Power Collector™ generates more energy than 3 X conventional solar PV panels.

The Power Collectors are capable up to three times more of the available solar energy compared to conventional Solar PV
