Concentrator Optics

Concentrator Optics offers complete solutions encompassing design, prototyping and manufacturing of optical elements for the solar industry. Our speciality are Fresnel lens parquets for concentrating photovoltaics (CPV).

Our customers benefit from our experts' competence gained through academic research on nonimaging optics and commercial development of solar applications. We accompanied several solar projects from design to the market.

Our goal is the technology leadership in the solar lens market. Innovative research is an integral part of our strategy to ensure sustainable growth on a technology basis.

Our PMMA-production line with a full capacity of 30MW/a is installed at our facilities in Cölbe, Germany. In addition to that we are capable of producing Silicone-on-Glass-lenses in prototype volumes and sizes. The industrial process for this product is going to be installed by summer 2010.

We are aware that for larger volumes, we need to license or operate additional lines on location of the power plant. An American subsidiary is being planned, in order to be able to quickly react to customer demand.
