We are delighted to share our latest publication in the journal Results in Engineering!
This latest study takes our WiT-CPV project one step further.
In collaboration with researchers from SECIHTI (Centro de Investigaciones en Óptica, A.C., Unidad Aguascalientes), the Laboratory of Energy Innovation and Intelligent and Sustainable Agriculture (LEIISA), the Technological University of San Juan del Río, and the Panamerican University of Aguascalientes in Mexico, we have developed the first proof of concept for a micro-concentration photovoltaic system with integrated azimuth tracking that maximises light capture without the need for expensive external trackers.
This first proof of concept shows:
✅ Captures up to 74% of the energy of dual tracking using only rotation on one axis.
✅ Modular and economical design with PMMA lenses and PET supports.
✅ Compatible with agrivoltaic applications, allowing the transmission of diffuse radiation.
✅ Potential for annual energy improvement of ~3% in different climates.
