Our Technology: Innovative Lightweight Polymeric Concentrator Solutions

Advanced Polymeric Concentrator Systems for Space & Earth

ParaSystems is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge lightweight, deployable, polymeric, (parabolic) concentrator systems. Our focus currently lies on design and engineering of Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) systems that efficiently concentrate sunlight to generate solar power and heat. Whether for space applications or terrestrial use, our polymer-based parabolic designs are targeting superior performance, durability, cost-efficiency and ease of deployment compared to traditional metal or glass systems.

Innovative Technologies for Polymeric Concentration and Solar Energy Conversion

At ParaSystems, we are currently developing and prototyping innovative parabolic CPV systems. We plan to create scalable systems that are lightweight, compactly storable and deployable, making them ideal for remote or space-based installations where transport and deployment logistics are critical.

Unique Advantages of ParaSystems’ Technology

Our innovative CPV system would reduce 99% of bulky and heavy semiconductor area by a polymeric parabolic reflector, reducing weight and cost without sacrificing durability or efficiency. This unique approach enables rapid deployment and high concentrator efficiency, optimizing solar power conversion for renewable energy in diverse environments.

Harnessing sunlight, powering future applications in space and on earth with innovation and efficiency.
