[...] Concentrating photovoltaic solar technology — which uses mirrors and lenses to focus sun rays onto high efficiency photovoltaics — is such an unusual hybrid technology that I wasn’t expecting many big firms to tackle it. But lo and behold, this afternoon Chevron announced that its venture arm Chevron Technology Ventures will build a 1 MW concentrating solar photovoltaic system on the tailing site of a mine in Questa, New Mexico owned by Chevron subsidiary Chevron Mining Inc.

Our company, Poulek Solar Company Ltd. of the Czech Republic has already produced solar concentrators for the residential as well as commercial and industrial markets. Our products have already been installed all over Europe (Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Greece, UK, etc.)

We have been at the forefront of the solar PV concentrator research for the past 15 years, a mature company out of the research stage and onto the production and marketing realm of the business.

Amonix is THE best of the lot……hands down…….it has the most experience and has fielded more than 13 MW’s….I am no expert, only a grad student who is interested in cpv….it looks like they have a very simple system and with over 20 years experience, makes it a deadly combination…….

Manu, what is GGE? Is this one of the companies listed or a separate company that is not even profiled in the article?

[...] SolFocus is different from a lot of those other well-funded solar firms, because it’s using a kind of hybrid solar technology called concentrating photovoltaics (CPV), which uses mirrors and lenses to concentrate sunlight onto tiny, highly efficient solar cells. As Greenwire explained recently, CPV merges two forms of more traditional solar technologies: concentrating mirrors and photovoltaics. For CPV smaller cells mean the solar project can cut down on the expensive silicon-based solar panels, and the CPV systems usually deliver considerably more power than a solar panel on a rooftop (here’s over a dozen companies working on CPV).
