Quadra Solar Technology
Capture More Sun
Quadra Solar is a concentrated solar systems technologies development company. We are developing iPyramid™, a Concentrated Photovoltaic and Thermal (CPVT) system for the flat rooftop market which has the following benefits:
-
Highest PV Efficiency of 32.2%.
-
Dual Energy System: demonstrated PV and Thermal efficiencies of 32.2% and 30.5% respectively and to reach 35% each.
-
Triple Usage System: Power, Heating & Cooling for both summer & winter use. Perfect for hot climates and cold ones like in Canada.
-
3 to 6 times the overall efficiency of PV panels (see efficiency table under iPyramid™).
-
2 to 3 time the overall efficiency of other CPV systems.
-
Outperforms all competitors systems in the locations where they work & works in locations where they fail (like Canada & north of 40 parallel).
-
Lowest kWh cost.
This is achieved by having:
-
Maximizing PV, Thermal, Space and Tracking efficiencies.
-
Our unique proprietary Active Cell Cooling technology, which insures the highest PV & Thermal efficiencies on the market.
-
Our Unique proprietary Secondary Optic offers 2.2° acceptance angle (compared to 1° degree in the industry).
-
Proprietary 3-Stage low profile solar tracking system offering the highest tracking tracking efficiency while also maximizing space efficiency. It minimizes the loss of energy due to shading, which is inherent in all other solar systems, and maximizes energy capture.
-
Propietary iPyramid™ design maximizes space efficiency, by maximizing the square area capturing the sun.
-
Designed with Canadian weather in mind. The system is not prone to snow falls or accumulations.
