Innovation: Photovoltaics (PV) & Robotic
Investment Opportunity
The RobotoSun
A robotic photovoltaic system maximizing yield and efficiency on roofs through the combination of proven and complementary technologies
Problems:
-
Expensive purchase
Most common reason why homeowners don't install pv-systems -
High yield losses
Above all on suboptimal roofs -
Fluctuating yields
Static PV wastes winter sun light potential
Our Solution:
- 21-43% lower purchase
- >50% higher yields
- More consistent yields and higher efficiency
Values validated through mathematic and physic Calculations and simulations (PoC)
