My name is Andre Broessel, I'm a German architect living in Barcelona and I´d like
to introduce you to my revolutionary solar project we´re working on.
We all know that the sun is the greatest sustainable energy source available to us on
earth. For more than 40 years, Technology has helped to transform this source into
electric and heating power. The problem is low efficiency: the vast majority of
PhotoVoltaic panels worldwide have a performance of just 15% or lower; and if the
panels aren´t tracking the movement of the sun in the sky, there are further losses of
40% during the year.
I am convinced that this problem has to be fixed and that “We can squeeze more juice
out of the sun.” That's the reason why I created Rawlemon.
By combining spherical geometry principals with our dual axis tracking system,
Rawlemon can reach up to 70% yield surplus compared to a conventional PV panel,
when both are placed in vertical set-up. This allows for Rawlemon products to be
integrated anywhere and everywhere. At the same time, we reduce the cell surface to
1%, which offers a revolutionary perspective on producing sustainable and low cost
energy.
Rawlemon is able to concentrate diffuse light. From economical point of view, this is
a unique opportunity to produce solar energy where conventional systems fail.
Our goal is twofold: to give us ample marketing opportunities for our alternative solar
energy technology, and a sufficient lead time to launch a revolutionary architectural
system for buildings which will be energy independent and generate surplus energy at
the same time. The Microtrack is able to produce energy in facades and assure 99% of
transparency. It could be installed as a building skin, producing energy during the day
and as a multimedia support during the night.
We believe in producing energy where people actually live; in our cities. And we will
do this without sacrificing beauty, the transparency of a window, or a comfortable
living environment.
We want it to be democratic. With your help we will be able to engage a revolution in
the renewable energy sector: a new way to produce energy and to reduce the impact
of climate change on our planet.
Our current invention, and the proposed design project Beta.ey, is aimed to minimize
the footprint even renewable energies leave on our environment. Through innovation
and great design, we want to create energy in a way that provides for our future, rather
than compromising it.
You think you´ve heard all this before. Futuristic solar energy systems which will
provide unlimited power. Well, we’ve been working on truly efficient concentrated
solar energy for over 3 years now. The Beta.ey that you see here reflects is the
smallest prototype we have designed. In a few weeks we will reach the final step of
the prototype. The Beta.ey will serve to fund us in order to release our main goal: the
design and development of smart, autonomous and efficient solar generators, bringing
forward the goal for renewable energies and balancing the emissions we leave in our
environment.
Be a pioneer and bring the Beta.ey worldwide as a solar cellphone charger and
desktop lamp. You will also be part of the beginnings of a new revolution we´ve
called “The Positive Climate Change”.
As we're close to entering production, your contribution will help fund:
- Production tooling
- Large component order
- Global certifications
- Continuing the development of our next products; such as the MicroTrack, a
building integrated solar generator for our cities.
