The "Hypercar" of solar power

Image
As I have spent my entire profesional career in designing and optimizing several different solar collectors for our own projects and for other companies, and on a global radius of adaptations to different climates and solar wheather patterns etc. I discovered hundreds of new design details affecting efficiency and power output, and  we eventually started to design manufacture and certify performance levels above whats typical solar photovoltaic systems. We developed a range of hybrid solar panels that makes both electric power, and heat (hot water, steam or hot nitrogen gas and others) and with total power levels far above what possible with traditional solar cells. We designed, tested and certified many different solar panels and collectors that was in the range 65-85% efficiency on a routine basis.     When compare this with traditional PV panels that is the most commonplace solar technology today, we notice a efficiency range of 21-24% in PV panels. And even if we acco...

The Win–Win–Win Value Chain The Sunthetics EaaS model is based on a circular value chain where all actors benefit from the collaboration: the customer (CHP user), the investors and Sunthetics/Maston. The three perspectives we call Win-Win-Win Value Chain, and they are summarized below.  The customer CHP genset user 1.       No CAPEX: The customer avoids investment costs and risk. Pays only for energy produced (EaaS), always at least 25% cheaper than grid electricity. Also receives heat from the CHP system, which increases the overall benefit. Result: Direct savings, reduced risk and increased energy independence. The investors 2.       Invests in long-term assets with a 25-year lifespan, matching solar fields and PtX systems. Receives stable cash flows from EaaS contracts. Low risk profile thanks to proven technology and predictable revenue models. Results: Secure returns and sustainable investment. Sunthetics/Maston 3.   ...

New 100% solar energy solution  Is there any possibility to design and make anything really new in solar energy today?  All science and industry usually goes in incremental progress with some sudden steps in development, and with all new technologies or products being launched and expanded on the market they all appear in different levels of sizes and capacities over time. The industrial learning curve can be a good reference for innovations, but at the same time we define an innovation to large extent by its revenue generation or adaptation by the masses.  In solar energy we must also include the fact that no matter how good performance or other "greatness" in technology achieved, ether will always be limiting factors present in solar energy products if they are to replace any high share of the energy market (I mean of all energy used on the planet). Other factors as the cost of that solar energy is an intermittent energy source and the capacity factor in covering our en...

  Why Real World Assets (RWA) is the next big investment category As capital markets change and new technologies emerge, a whole new investment category is taking shape:  Real World Assets (RWA).  It's about connecting  physical, value-added assets  – such as solar power plants, real estate or infrastructure – with the flexibility of digital finance.  A new playing field after MiFID II The European Commission's updates to  the MiFID II Directive  in 2023 opened the door to digitally registered real assets. This means that investments in, for example, a solar energy plant can be represented in  digital tokens  that are both regulated and tradable on a secondary market.  The Background of Real-World Assets (RWAs) Real-World Assets, or RWAs, refer to tangible or financial assets that exist in the traditional, off-chain world but are represented as digital tokens on a blockchain. This process is known as tokenization. While the digital ...
