Insolight

Swiss start-up Insolight has actually raised EUR4.6 million to bring its focusing PV module technology to commercial manufacturing. The panels have a claimed performance of 30% and power result of 160 W. Originally conceived for rootop solar, the item is currently being recommended as a fascinating alternative for agrivoltaic projects.

A solar PV technology claiming to have achieved 50% higher output than conventional systems in tests has bagged EU research money to speed up its move to large-scale production.

A consortium of European research institutes has received €10.6 million in EU funding to establish pilot production of a high efficiency module concept developed by Swiss startup Insolight. The module combines high efficiency multijunction cells with a solar concentrator lens and has previously demonstrated 29% efficiency.
