Manufacturing Layout & Equipment

MAGPOWER is an European company that developed,

industrialized and manufactures the 3rd generation of

Photovoltaics, designated as Concentrated Photovoltaics

Technology.

The compelling results we have achieved in more then 9 years

of research & development helped us in reaching state-

of-the-art technology in solar power generation.

MAGPOWER patented technology, MagSun, allows

generating energy at the lowest cost of solar

technologies!!!



Traditional silicon technology

•The main advantage of Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV) is the amount of solar energy that reaches the cell

•The cells used are able to handle much more energy and efficiency than silicon cells.

Magpower’s Technology

800X

How CPV Works ?



• Multi-junction solar cells provide solar spectrum conversion with higher efficiency. • Achievable efficiency of multi-junction cell is > 40%.

High Performance CPV Cells

12% to 19% efficiency

Silicon Cell Performance

39% to 41% efficiency

CPV Cell Preformance



Technology Leadership

Top-notch efficiency

MAGPOWER technology ranks high in laboratory efficiency results as it is

based on the leading multi-junction cell manufacturer Spectrolab (Boeing

Group) and …..

Energy Generation – CPV versus PV



CPV is best for remote high insulation areas

Regions with very high DNI (above 2500 kW/m2): North China, North

Africa, South Africa, Golf Region, California, Chile, Australia



Solar Plant

• Location: Western China (high

level of irradiance)

• Number of hours: 2.970 hours per

year

• Considering: investment

amortization in 25 years,

operation & maintenance costs,

insurances, warranties for 25

years

The cost of energy is less than RMB 0,58 / kwh

Performance in practice in China
