  High- and mid-temperature concentrating collectors  


SVVTI has
introduced a new family of solar concentrating collectors featuring a record-high single-stage concentration ability and a unique combination of high optical performance of mirrors and lens-like sunlight collection on the concentrator's back side. The patented optical design was so unusual that we also had to introduce a new term for it: "Reflective Lens". The concentric and linear versions of our reflective lenses have been developed as a cost effective alternative to the existing dish-parabolic, Fresnel lens, and parabolic trough technologies for a broad range of applications including:

Concentrating PV system

Solar thermal power
Water heating for residential and commercial applications
Space cooling
Hydrogen production
Water desalination
Solar-powered neutralization of hazardous objects or substances
Industrial waste disintegration
 
 
  

  Custom optical design and software

  Educational research
