The world demand for power has never been greater
It is expected to grow by more than 50 percent over the next twenty years. GreenVolts’ CPV solution is designed to deliver the most efficient solar energy in the world. It can deliver this utility-scale energy directly to the distribution grid and close to load for projects as small as one megawatt, but scalable to any size.
Key Advantages
Highest Conversion Efficiency
GreenVolts’ proprietary design maximizes the level of sunlight reaching the solar cell and the conversion efficiency of the system. With a modular conversion efficiency of 20%, and a verified unit level efficiency of 28%, it is the highest in the industry.
Highest Energy Density and Lowest Land Use
The CarouSol produces unparalleled energy density of 500+MWh/acre/year, significantly greater than that of other solar technologies, using less land to produce the same amount of power.
More Energy Produced
GreenVolts’ 2-axis tracking system has a significantly greater energy yield than other PV systems, which reduces the levelized cost of energy.
Low Profile Tracker
GreenVolts’ low-profile design minimizes wind load, and is self-stabilizing. This eliminates the need for ground penetration and concrete supports, making projects easier to permit and site.
Rapid Deployment
Avoiding permanent foundations and heavy installation equipment, which are used in all other pole-mounted CPV solutions, makes GreenVolts’ projects easier to permit and install, giving GreenVolts the fastest deployment speed of any CPV technology.
Optical Design
GreenVolts’ simple high-performance optical design eliminates chromatic aberration and increases the aperture to land ratio, increasing the energy density of the system.
Low O&M Costs
GreenVolts’ modular architecture and low profile design keep O&M costs down. In addition, the CarouSol operates an automated low water self-cleaning system.
No Water Usage
GreenVolts uses no water in its power production process and only minimal water for its automated cleaning process.
Smart Stowing Technology
In hazardous weather conditions or upon command, a CarouSol will enter into “stow” mode, shielding components from the elements.
Automated Control System
The CarouSol tracker is monitored and aligned through a proprietary, central control system with onboard diagnostic software, notification functionality and automatic alignment calibration - significantly reducing O&M costs.
