"Due to its high efficiencies CPV offers a substantial cost-cutting potential for solar electricity generation. Our vision is that CPV modules will become the cheapest PV technology. Therefore, Soitec is continually working on improvements in its product design, the production quality and the output. In order to advance the development of CPV and to establish it as a mainstream energy source we need an effective organization like the CPV Consortium."
– Hansjörg Lerchenmüller, Senior VP Customer Group, Solar Energy Business Unit
"CPV is the appropriate technology for large-scale solar installations in regions with high direct normal irradiance. The system efficiencies achievable with CPV reduce balance of system costs and land usage in ways not possible with other traditional silicon and thin film technologies. EMCORE is positioned to support and supply the CPV industry at each step in the supply chain by offering high efficiency solar cells, receivers, modules and complete turnkey systems. EMCORE provides the technology for solar power where solar power matters."
James Foresi, Director of System Architecture for Emcore
"ISFOC is the global reference project for CPV systems on sun testing. Our participation in the consortium keeps us in direct contact with the industry and helps direct our work to its needs."
– Dr. Pedro Banda, Director General of ISFOC
“Since 1981, Isofoton has been a leading Spanish company in the designing, manufacturing, and supplying of Solar Energy Solutions. Isofoton has been actively involved in CPV since 2001 and is focused in a continuous improvement addressing all the evolutions at solar cell, optics as well as module and tracker concepts. We strongly believe that our 29 years experience in the PV market will definitively help to boost the CPV technology. The high DC electrical efficiency and the excellent performance in hot climates are right now making true the market introduction of this technology. The CPV Consortium is the perfect tool for promoting CPV technology.”
- Vicente Diaz, Innovation and Engineering Deputy Director
