Suncetix's Technology

works on the principle of concentrating the sun’s energy multiple times onto a single PV cell. By using reflective surfaces, the system increases the amount of irradiance hitting the silicon-based cell by at least 16X. In turn, this enables the imbedded cell to than produce over 16X the energy it produces under regular non-concentrated capacity constraints. The result being that the system uses substantially less than 1/16 of the silicon it would otherwise require to convert the same amount of sunlight. Minimizing the use of silicon, the most expensive input involved in PV technology.
