designed to be
manufactured on “slightly modified

savings through high-volume production

Low Cost Breakthrough
Paul Sidlo, one of Sunrgi’s seven
founding partners, said his firm has
“miniaturized everything.” Sidlo
claims miniaturization leads to
“reduced cost, and the big breakthrough
here is all about lower cost.”
In addition to miniaturization, Sidlo
said Sunrgi’s system is designed to be
manufactured on “slightly modified
computer assembly lines,” enabling further
savings through high-volume production.
These and other cost-saving
features will enable Sunrgi’s system to
produce electricity at the estimated
wholesale cost of five cents per kilowatt-hour,
according to Sidlo.
In an article in The Technology
Review, published by the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Daniel
Friedman, a solar-energy researcher at
the U.S. National Renewable Energy
Lab, called Sunrgi’s claims “quite
aggressive.”
Friedman said other solar-cell
manufacturers are still working toward
seven or eight cents per kilowatt-hour.
“I can’t say Sunrgi won’t achieve what
it’s claiming, but right now, it’s just
on paper, and costs like that are only
going to be a reality at the large manufacturing
level,” Friedman stated.
Handling the Heat
At its claimed level of sun concentration,
some skeptics point out,
Sunrgi’s solar module would generate
temperatures exceeding 1800°C – a
degree of heat comparable with that of
an acetylene torch.
How can Sunrgi’s system handle
heat that hot? K.R.S. Murthy, the
Sunrgi partner called a “thermal
wizard” by his colleagues, said cells
in such systems are usually cooled
through a combination of heat conduction,
air or liquid convection and
radiation. He noted that the goal is
to remove as much heat as quickly as
possible. “At each stage of conduction,
convection and radiation,” said
Murthy, “We’ve made an improvement
over what others have done.”
For example, Murthy said that a
small fluid-filled chamber is connected
to the bottom of each cell in Sunrgi’s
system. This chamber acts as a heat
sink, according to Murthy. It is filled
with fluid that contains high-temperature
composites and nanomaterials
that rapidly remove heat from the
cell. This “super cooling” agent, which
Murthy will not identify, enables cells
to remain about 10°C to 20°C above
ambient temperatures or, as Murthy
said, “cool enough to work.”
Many experts are still dubious and
most appear to be taking the “we’ll
believe it when we see it” attitude.
The doubting Thomases do not deter
Sunrgi’s founders, however. Their
philosophy seems to be “time will
tell.” For now, the seven partners of
the self-funded firm are reportedly too
busy talking to venture capitalists and
prospective manufacturers to think of
much else. (Visit: sunrgi.com)
