arpa-e Energy Innovation Summit
Liliana Ruiz Diaz and I in front of our booth showcasing our technology for energy solution:
1. A solar trough that uses both IR for thermal and vis. for PV allowing constant energy production even at night when heat is converted back to electricity: “A CPV/CSP Hybrid Solar Energy Conversion System With Full Use of Solar Spectrum”
2. A solar panel that uses highly efficient micro PV cells with direct solar concentration on top of a Si panel that use the diffuse light. Win-win solution: “A High Efficiency Flat Plate PV With Integrated Micro-CPV Atop a 1-Sun Panel”
I had a fantastic time discussing technology and energy policy with some of the 2000+ participants.
