Solar Energy Collection

Solar Cells, or PhotoVoltaic ( PV ) cells are generally solid state devices which convert sunlight directly into electricity.  HPG builds arrays of PV Cells as a component of its Hybrid Energy Parks© and Mini Energy Parks©, and uses its patented Conversion/Inversion Technology to convert the sunlight into the highest possible amount of electricity. 
 
  
You may hear something like " There's not enough Solar Energy here to make it work here - we're too far North ".

Just to put solar energy into perspective : 

  • Germany has a thriving Solar industry
  • between 20% and 25% of Germany's electricity is Solar-generated
  • the latitude of Berlin, Germany is about the same as that of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

This leading edge Control System makes a PV array so efficient that it no longer requires expensive and maintenance-intensive tracking systems.   Older-style 'inverters' only make use of the 'prime' illumination times of the day - rejecting energy which could have been collected during the early and later parts of the day.  Hybridyne's CIT takes full advantage of the 'shoulders', and delivers a much higher annual yield, which results in higher income for the investors.

Based on the state of the solar cell industry , with high demand and limited supply, HPG may install PV products from some of the world's leading manufacturers.  Generally, however, because of their increased yield, we prefer to install PV Panels made by Day4		 
HPG's PV panel of choice comes from Day4 Energy.  Tests at our lab indicate that Day4 panels yield higher electricity per day than other panels ( some of which cost more to purchase ).  We are also finding that Day4 panels have a longer productive lifespan.  See here for more information
