2 The future is not green it s transparent! Welcome to the next generation of sustainable solar energy... Ever since Archimedes, scientists have known that a crystal lens exposed to the concentrates incoming light to a focal point. We based the design of the new Rawlemon devices on this simple optical phenomenon. The perfect geometry of the sphere, combined with our patented dual axis tracking system, naturally provides the optimum angle to concentrate light on our collectors all day long, traveling with the. axis tracking. (Central Europe) concentrating. building integration. 115 % 50 % 0 % 6 fixed PV panel pv panel 1 m2 silicon use. rawlemon uses less silicon for the equivalent power. 8 1O Rawlemon ( and concentration) Rawlemon yield benefit by concentrating diffuse l * official results certified by the Zentrum für Sonnenenergieund Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg rawlemon: 99% of transparency By combining spherical geometry principals with our system, Rawlemon can reach up to 70% yield surplus compared to a conventional PV panel, when both are placed in vertical set-up (As certified by the Zentrum für Sonnenenergieund Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden- Württemberg ). This allows for Rawlemon products to be integrated anywhere and everywhere. At the same time, we reduce the cell surface to 1%, which offers a revolutionary perspective on producing sustainable and low cost energy. Rawlemon is able to concentrate diffuse light. From economical point of view, this is a unique opportunity to produce solar energy where conventional systems fail. Rawlemon products vastly extend the geographical map of solar energy. On a cloudy day, Rawlemon produces 4 times more energy than a conventional system! In addition to increase/optimum solar performance, Rawlemon offers revolutionary benefits for users, designers and architects. Unlike any existing solar technology, Rawlemon products and their dematerialised aesthetic allow for 99% transparency, full building integration with PV System Cost / Kwh generated in a 5 year period 0,3 0,2 0,1 0,0 10% 15% 20% 25% Fixed flat PV Panel 0,001 0,01 0, Cell Cost ( /cm2) Payback by Feed-In-Tariff RAWLEMON dual axis tracking concentrator 3,3 5 year Payback (0,15 /cm2) RAWLEMON certified technology 2,2 1,1 0,0 PV System Cost / Power output ( / W) no weather impact thanks to the patent pending system by Rawlemon. More over, it gives the possibility to connect both standard and hybrid collectors in order to convert electricity and/ or thermal energy, Rawlemon products offer reversible self-sufficient system. Our next step for the future is to apply this technology to the emission of light creating new and exciting possibilities for lighting sources and media, such as a transparent, self-sufficient, video wall. Our ultimate goal is to minimize the foot print renewable energies leave on our environment in this multimedia world.
