The technology How it works Concentrix technology uses Fresnel lenses made of silicone-on-glass to concentrate sunlight by a factor of 500 onto tiny, highly efficient, multi-junction solar cells. These cells are mounted on a base plate made of glass and convert the concentrated light directly into electrical energy. The lens plate and the base plate are connected via a metal frame and comprise a concentrator module. The concentrator modules are mounted on a two-axis tracking system that follows the sun. It ensures that the focus point of the concentrated sunlight is directly on the cells at...
