SOLAR

The revolutionary Sunflower™ highly concentrated photo voltaic (HCPV) system is the world’s only CPV solution that

can be installed on the field, on any rooftop or on a carport. Sunflower integrates ultra high efficiency modules,

advanced tracking, micro-converter technology, wireless communication and built-in performance monitoring

into one elegant turnkey solution. Sunflower produces cost-competitive solar power with the lowest installation and

maintenance costs in the industry.

Why Concentrated PV?

In bright sunny locations, CPV systems

use less land and have a lower cost

of energy than comparable PV or Thin

Film installations. These important CPV

advantages enable better land use,

higher energy production, and ultimately

greater return on your solar investment.

Sunflower Technology

Measuring less than seven feet in overall height, Sunflower’s single

module tracker creates a low profile design that is aesthetically

appealing. Through the combination of Sunflower’s 30% efficiency,

2-axis tracking and superior temperature performance, a 30% increase

in annual electricity production can be expected over traditional 33º

tilt PV systems (installed Watts). For carports and rooftops, where PV tilt

is only 5º, Sunflower’s annual kWh production ratio can be as much as

40% higher than traditional silicon PV.

High Concentration & Industry-

Leading Efficiency 30%

While most CPV systems concentrate

the sun only 500:1, Sunflower

advanced HCPV modules

concentrate the sun 1,200:1. 500

sun CPV systems require 2.4 times the

amount of expensive multi-junction cell material giving Sunflower a

substantial cost advantage. In addition, Sunflower high concentration

modules achieve a world-leading 30% aperture efficiency, nearly

double that of the typical PV panel.

Superior High Temperature Performance

Sunflower’s CPV technology is better suited than silicon PV in sunny,

high ambient temperature locations. This is because Sunflower uses

heat resistant Gallium Arsenide based multijunction cells and not

silicon PV. Silicon based PV panels lose 0.5% of their rated power for

every degree Celsius they increase over their 25ºC rating temperature.

Once on sun, operating temperatures can reach up to 75ºC causing

traditional PV panels to lose 20 to 25% of their rated power. Sunflower’s

heat tolerant multijunction Gallium Arsenide cells lose only 5% of their

rated power under these same conditions. This important difference

gives Sunflower a significant energy harvest advantage in these hot

sunny locations.

PowerPort TM CarportThe PowerPort family of products is based on standardized carport sections that are designed for any number of compact-car, handicapped and standard parking spaces. PowerPort mounts Sunflower›s unique single module tracking system on a standard carport roof-structure to save weight, installation time and money. PowerPort was designed from the ground up with building codes in mind. Currently PowerPort complies with all relevant California codes for wind-load and earthquake resistance. PowerPort is shipped as a standard product in sub-sections that can be assembled onsite quickly and easily.

Rooftop InstallationsWeighing less than four (4) lbs per square foot (less than 19 kg/m2), the Sunflower HCPV system is an ideal solution to improve energy production on tight roof spaces. Sunflower›s roof-mount is non-penetrating and can be adapted to any roof surface and joist spacing. Sunflower›s mounting structure provides a deck clearance of 27 inches (70 cm) which clears most roof obstacles such as skylights, conduits and HVAC lines allowing for ease of installation and higher power density.

Field Installed SystemThe Sunflower mounting system employs a unique «space-frame» structure that assembles in minutes with simple wrenches. It is self-ballasting and requires no concrete footings or foundations of any kind. This construction-friendly design requires minimal installation training and allows for large construction tolerances, simplifying installation and reducing costs. Upon initial system startup, Sunflower›s control software conducts a self-calibration function that locates the sun and calibrates out any installation errors. This simplifies installation and reduces labor costs, making Sunflower the lowest installed cost CPV system in the industry.
