Solar
Cool Solar panels
Thermastrate’s technology is ideally suited to Solar PV cell receiver applications and is especially effective in CPV systems with concentrations to 500 Suns and above.
Thermastrate have a range of technologies that can be adapted to produce low cost, thermally efficient arrays for PV cell receiver modules including a patented design of Solar Cell Carrier which is designed to provide an integrated assembly which includes all electrical and optical components in a package that can be incorporated at low cost into the final receiver module.
Features and Benefits
Thermastrate’s expertise in thermal management enable them to design, develop and manufacture Solar PV modules, providing low cost solutions using high volume automated assembly techniques to provide thermally optimised, high efficiency products.
Potential Applications
Solar Energy generation – flat panel or CPV
High temperature, electrically efficient solar cell assemblies
Products for Solar PV applications
Thermastrate Solar Cell Carrier Concept
Thermastrate’s Solar Cell Carrier is designed to provide a package which includes;
o The solar cell.
o Integrated diode protection.
o Support for secondary optics.
o The interconnectivity to external circuitry.
o Environmental protection.
The SCC is designed to be assembled by an automated process.
Thermastrate will provide a complete solution of ‘packaged’ cell/optic devices assembled (with the PCB connectivity) onto the CPV Base-plate.
