It may seem out of reach to even imagine the possibility of an entire city that is run by solar energy, but there is currently technology in place, being used in Germany and other countries, where a large part of their energy is produced by a massive solar grid. Large companies and even city utilities are looking for ways to make solar energy more affordable, and this happens when it is more efficient to produce. Amonix is an industry leader in CPV technology, which is used to boost solar energy cells beyond their normal output, with the result being an attractive new solar technology that has the possibility to change the way energy is produced in this country, just as it is already happening in Europe and elsewhere around the globe.
One of the issues that scientists and researchers continue to work on is how to create solar energy efficiently. One of the problems is that in the capture of solar energy, heat is a byproduct that is created in the process that takes a certain amount of energy away from the solar collectors. If you can reduce the amount of heat generated, you can make solar energy more affordably. Amonix has come up with multi-junction solar cells, which utilize multiple photovoltaic materials to capture more energy from sunlight than traditional solar cells. While doing so, they also do not create as much heat as a byproduct, helping to increase solar energy capture efficiencies even further.
Amonix has also introduced the dual-axis tracking system, which increases efficiency even further. The multi-junction cells are placed on the dual-axis tracker, which moves to keep the solar cells in the correct position in relation to the sun as it moves through the sky throughout the course of a day, giving the greatest ability to collect all of the available light wavelength possible.
