Explore how Volumetric Solar Towers enhance solar energy generation, taking the insights from MIT's 2012 study on 3D solar energy to new levels.
3D Photovoltaic Efficiency Reimagined
Building on the MIT study's concept of 3D solar structures, Volumetric Solar Towers use bifacial solar panels in a vertical setup. They capture sunlight more efficiently than traditional flat panels, using sunlight from above and reflections from below.
Superior to Traditional Solar Systems
- Increased Energy Density: While MIT's study showed higher energy density with 3D structures, Volumetric Solar Towers further optimize this by capturing additional light with bifacial panels from both above and below.
- Adaptable to Various Conditions: The towers perform exceptionally across different latitudes and weather, improving on the energy generation multiples suggested by MIT.
- Economical Bifacial Panels: Offering design flexibility and cost savings, Volumetric Solar Towers surpass the MIT prototype's single-sided panels and structural elements in efficiency and economics.
Cost-Effective Solar Power
Though MIT's prototype had higher initial costs, Volumetric Solar Towers are proven to be disruptively economical, with easier installation and standard off-the shelf bifacial panels.
Future Potential in Solar Energy
Volumetric Solar Technologies are ripe for innovation, with prospects for taller towers, higher temperate panels, higher voltage panels and advanced reflector designs.
Conclusion
Volumetric Solar Towers elevate solar energy generation in 3D, offering a practical, efficient solution building on applying MIT's foundational research into the real world. These towers are ready for immediate research and construction, with technology licenses available for purchase.
