The Value Back to Top

The Technique Solar technology breakthrough makes it possible to now deliver solar energy more economically and more efficiently than other currently known forms of solar energy production.

The features are as follows:

• It will deliver an energy output which has an average cost per kwhr competitive with the cost of nominally 20 cents per kwhr for energy currently delivered by the Australian electricity grid. This compares with the existing cost of energy from conventional PV panels, which is typically in the range of 70 to 100 cents per kwhr.
• It enables solar energy to be provided to the consumer using modules supplying heat load (hot water) and electrical energy at one quarter of the energy costs of conventional solar energy systems.
• The modules can be supplied and installed at a cost which does not require the need for Government subsidies or rebates.
• In addition the owner of the module can gain a financial benefit which would apply from the expected Renewable Energy Certificates (RECS).

The Performance Back to Top

A Technique Solar Module for a nominated solar collection area of 3.5 square metres produces a total of some 2.1 kwatt of power.

A standard PV cell panel of some 2 kwatt requires 12-14 square metres of area.

The respective power outputs for the Technique Solar Module

The major breakthrough with the Technique Solar technology compared to existing solar energy technology (i.e. solar panels) is the high level of energy output achieved. For example:
