The Canadian company Maxun introduced Pyramid-1P, a solar system that contains highly efficient cells as well as lenses and mirrors to concentrate solar radiation.
Thanks to its pyramid structure and a two-axis tracking system, the technology generates twice as much energy as traditional panels and reduces costs.
The system can be installed in both homes and businesses that require efficiency and low costs.Thanks to its ability to generate electricity and heat simultaneously, it represents an alternative for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint and energy expenditure.
The principle of Pyramid-1P lies in a pyramid structure equipped with a two-axis sun tracking system. While conventional solar modules only capture radiation at a fixed angleThis system adjusts its orientation throughout the day to capture the maximum amount of energy.
This mechanism allows energy production to be increased by at least 50% compared to traditional flat systems.
Aside from that, the combination of highly efficient solar cells, similar to those used in satellitesIt uses lenses and mirrors to concentrate radiation at strategic points. This enables up to 3.5 times higher overall performance than conventional panels.
One of the highlights of Pyramid-1P is the reduction in electricity production costs per kilowatt generated. The manufacturer estimates that the costs can be up to 30% lower than traditional panels.
In the environmental aspectUsing this technology can lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of up to 80% compared to traditional solar systems.
This progress is a response to the reduced dependence on fossil sources and the possibility of using the heat generated to supplement electricity supply.
The versatility of Pyramid-1P allows it to be installed in both private homes and large industrial facilities.
Compared to conventional panels, the system only requires half as much spaceIt delivers four to six times more energy, which is essential in urban areas or buildings with limited space.
The adaptability extends across the range of applications from small houses to complexes such as hospitals, schools, hotels as well as the pharmaceutical, textile and food industries. The possibility of integrating the system into small roofs or large industrial buildings also expands the circle of potential users.
A key challenge in solar energy production is maintaining supply when solar radiation is low or at night. The system includes a thermal storage and thermoelectric generators that ensure a continuous supply.
The CHP model enables the simultaneous generation of electricity and heat. A single unit can meet heating, hot water, air conditioning and electricity needs, providing resource optimization for residential and industrial users.
This integration allows companies and individuals to maintain the continuity of the flow of energy resources. also in view of climatic fluctuations.
The pyramid structure and the two-axis solar tracking system are the elements that make up the innovative character of Pyramid-1P in the field of renewable energy.
The superior use of solar radiationin addition to the possibility of combined heat and power, represents a break with conventional solar module systems.
Likewise, the expansion of applications, the reduction of the required space and the feasibility in different scales and spaces increase its potential.
