Peter Penning Development of the SunCycle solar concentrator

Why SunCycle? Best Research Solar Cell Efficiencies

III-V Solar cells

Why concentrators? 1. Replacing semiconductor material by cheap components 2. High efficiency by using III-V solar cells 3. Resulting in a lower cost per kWh

Examples of concentrators Mirrors in AustraliaLenses in Spain

Concentrator - issue To follow the moving sun, a heavy and accurate tracking system is required: it is costly and can not be applied in the residential area

SunCycle solved that issue One axis tracking allows for a static structure → installation in the residential area → thermal energy applications

How does it work?

How does it look? Traditional tracking CPV system SunCycle’s solution: internal tracking

Production of the components III-V cell: commercial available Injection molded housing components Mirror: injection molded PC; aluminum coated Prism: injection molded PMMA; Solar Grade The components are comparable to those in headlamps of cars : The function is inverse.

Benefit for the customer thermal energy ideal for sunny, residential areas well recyclable; low EPBT high electrical efficiency

SunCycle over time 2007 Technology patented ; Proof of principle 2009 Prototype in operation 2012 Components produced with mass production technology

SunCycle over time 2013 First series produced and measured at high efficiency 2014 Start of outdoor testing

Industrial technology Partners Injection moulding parts end assembly Electronics Mirror coating

R&D Partners Durability testing; Production technology CPV technology III-V Cell technology

Projects and Subsidies Grant Dutch Government (Pieken in de Delta) Production technology developed for all components of the system 2010 – 2012 Grant European Union (FP7) Scaling up to mass production line with a capacity of > 50 MW 2013 – 2016 Performance study 2013 – 2015

Performance study Project targets - Study the performance of the system generation–1 (picture) and –2 - Study the thermal behavior - Projections for sunnier environments

SunCycle planning 2015 Testing and certification; Installation of units in several demonstration projects 2016 High volume production; cost reduction
