Overview

No one doubts the long-term role that solar power will play in electricity production. Already conventional photovoltaic (PV) panels are an accepted way of reducing the carbon footprint of a country’s power generation needs.

Whitfield Solar has developed a concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) product that will significantly undercut the installed, power generation costs of conventional PV panels.

Designed to be used in large scale ‘solar farms’ as well as smaller, roof-top installations and car parks. Whitfield’s product benefits from many years of research into the fundamental cost drivers of concentrator technology.

By creating a system that relies on a range of highly efficient manufacturing technologies, Whitfield Solar can transfer the benefits of engineering excellence to a CPV product whilst opening the door to the enormous cost savings associated with these high-volume techniques. Unlike many of the alternative concentrator approaches, Whitfield’s core components will be manufactured in multi-million quantities even at quite modest overall power outputs thereby driving significant economies of scale. Perhaps not surprisingly, Whitfield’s development team are drawn from various branches of Europe’s automotive and domestic appliance industries.
