Solar Concentration and Tracking




OPEL International implements 9.5 kW solar photovoltaics for The Sports Zone in Trumbull, CT, reducing their electrical bill significantly with sun tracking capabilities. ...
... "OPEL’s Mk-I HCPV panels concentrate the light from the sun more than 500 times and have conversion efficiencies up to twice that of conventional silicon solar panels and more than three times that of thin film solar panels. OPEL’s solar trackers can be used in conjunction with both concentrating panels, as well as with conventional silicon ones. When these trackers are used in conjunction with conventional silicon panels, the resulting electricity generation can be increased by as much as 40% with respect to conventional fixed panel installations.
