Solarus

In late 2011, together with the Swedish International Development Agency, Gulbenkian Foundation, Lund and Maputo Universities, Solarus embarked on a research project to build a solar laboratory at the University of Maputo (Mozambique) in Africa.

A complete solar laboratory was equipped with Solarus Thermal and PVT modules, as well as, tracking equipment, solar radiation sensors, loggers, IV tracers, flowmeters, etc. This laboratory is able to measure both the electrical and thermal output of any modules. A course on solar energy and simulation was also conducted locally.

Manufacturing of solar collectors has commenced at Solarus Älvkarleby factory, after a successful Solar Key Mark factory audit of Solarus new manufacturing site.

Solarus’ Älvkarleby factory will have capability to manufacture all three products, T, PV and PVT. The new manufacturing unit has been designed to support high volume manufacturing with an annual capacity up to 40 MW.

The Blue Economy project screened thousands of innovations and hunderds were identified which imitate natural ecosystems and their efficiency. Solarus hybrid system is among the 100 world's top innovations to be included in the Blue Economy Proposal. The idea of Blue Economy is about responding to the basic needs of all with what we have. As such, it stands for a new way of designing business: using the resources available in cascading systems, where the waste of one product becomes the input to create a new cash flow. In this way, jobs are created, social capital is built and income rises – while the environment that provides the basis for our lives is no longer strained and polluted. Thus, we can evolve from an economy where the good is expensive, and the bad is cheap, to a system where the good and innovative is affordable.

One of the biggest challenge faced by mankind is to move to an enrgy supply that will not contribute to climate problems. Solar energy company Solarus now provides a solution that contributes to this transformation. Through its technology, where both heat and electricity can be extracted from a single solar panel, Solarus' solution led to an increase in energy efficiency. With its simple and cost effective solar panels, Solarus has also been able to enable people in developing countries to create their own energy supply where it would otherwise be impossible without the grid.These contribution justifies the company's winning of the Norrtälje enviromental prize of the year.

The prize winners for Miljöinnovation09 were announced earlier this week and Solarus came in second out of many interesting environment related innovations across the whole nation.

Miljöinnovation09 is an annual environmental innovation contest in Sweden that focuses on innovation that creates new, successful products and services that reduce the global environmental and climate problems.
