More power when it matters
VECTHOR is an innovative photovoltaic system that utilizes vertical bifacial solar panels, along with patented engineered reflectors, enabling it to increase power output even in less favorable radiance conditions.
The need
PV systems overproduce power at noon in the warmer months, and underperform at sunset, sunrise and during winter. There is a need to flatten the solar energy production curve and align electricity demand with generation. This would minimise grid stress and reduce reliance on energy storage systems.
The solution
VECTHOR is an innovative photovoltaic system that utilises vertical bifacial solar panels, along with patented engineered reflectors. This enables it to increase power output irrelative of radiance conditions. The technology maximises the overall annual energy yield of the plant (kWh/kW) and reduces the cost of electricity (LCOE). It additionally optimises energy production when the price of electricity tends to be higher: at sunrise, sunset, in cloudy weather and in winter.
The value proposition
- Increases power output in all conditions.
- Maximises annual energy yield of the plant.
- Reduces electricity cost.
- Optimises energy production at costly times of the day or year.
