SOLAR POWER AT HALF THE COST Alternatives to Conventional Photovoltaics

 Introduction to Idea  Soliant Energy Case Study  Info  Claims and Data  Solyndra Case Study  Info  Claims and Data  Conclusions  References

 Alternative to conventional photovoltaics (solar panels)  Aimed at saving money while at least matching or increasing productivity  Several different improvements proposed  Soliant trough-shaped  Solyndra cylindrical-shaped

 2005: Soliant Energy was founded by a small group of former NASA engineers with the goal of providing the best solar solution for commercial rooftops.”  2007: A Soliant-led team was chosen by the US Department of Energy as a Technology Pathway Partner under the Solar America Initiative (SAI).Uses lenses and mirrors to concentrate sunlight on thin strips of photovoltaic material  Report used by presentation written in  Any information used from Soliant Energy’s website: Nov/Dec 2009.

 Claims  Double your energy production  Lowest cost of energy  30+ years maintenance free guarantee  Tracks sun within 10% of one degree  Less than 2ft tall  369 watts at peak hours

 Founded in 2005  Solyndra systems are designed to provide the lowest installed cost per system  Solyndra operates a state-of-the-art 300,000 square foot fully-automated manufacturing complex

 Claims  Orders of $1.2 billion  Raised $600 million In venture funding  Plans for 420-megawatt-capacity factory  Figures taken from report written Oct 2008

 Both designs more efficient than conventional design  Both are successful businesses  Cheaper to manufacture  Endorsed by Department of Energy
