Super Solar Power

The Amonix 7700 Concentrated Photovoltaic Solar Power is a Game Changer

— February 23, 2011 — Eco
Solar power is already vastly cleaner than fossil-fuel energy generation, but the Amonix 7700 Concentrated Photovoltaic system could help make photovoltaic panels smaller and more efficient than ever before.

Whereas current large-scale solar power technology requires huge tracts of land and enormous amounts of money in order to generate the output of a fossil-fuel power plant, the Amonix 7700 Concentrated Photovoltaic system doubles the efficiency of solar panels while also cutting their cost in half. The breakthrough could change the face of green power once and for all.
Trend Themes
1. Concentrated Photovoltaic Technology - The Amonix 7700 system doubles the efficiency of solar panels, presenting opportunities for the development of more compact and cost-effective photovoltaic solutions.
2. Reduction in Land Requirements - The Amonix 7700 system's ability to generate the same output as a fossil-fuel power plant with half the land requirement opens possibilities for renewable energy installations in areas with limited space.
3. Cost-effective Green Power - By cutting solar panel costs in half, the Amonix 7700 system revolutionizes the economics of green power and creates opportunities for wider adoption.
Industry Implications
1. Renewable Energy - The breakthrough in concentrated photovoltaic technology has disruptive potential within the renewable energy industry, enabling more efficient and cost-effective solar power solutions.
2. Solar Manufacturing - The Amonix 7700 system's increased efficiency and reduced costs pose opportunities for innovation and growth within the solar panel manufacturing industry.
3. Clean Tech Investment - The Amonix 7700 system's game-changing capabilities are likely to attract increased investment and funding in the clean tech industry, driving advancements in sustainable energy solutions.
