SunCube Creates Breakthrough in Concentrated Solar PV Technology

It’s not an evolution. It’s a revolution.

The SunCube yields an amazing 31% efficiency. Even the highest efficiency standard solar panel converts only 18.5% of the sun’s rays to electricity.

Space Age Technology

The SunCube CPV uses technology that has been in satellites and spacecraft for more than a decade. Leading chip maker, Emcore, based in New Mexico, manufactures the triple junction gallium arsenide chips that are the heart of the SunCube. The chips are housed in a highly specialized ground mounted dual axis tracking system, optimizing the available sunlight, concentrating 1,370 suns on the chips.

Sun Cubes provide you a significant, long term advantage over standard solar panels. The revolutionary gallium arsenide chips can be updated, in the field. Technology is ever improving, and today’s solar collection efficiency will improve to 50% to 60% or more. When Emcore releases their next generation of chips, we can retrofit your existing cubes. The array you have already purchased and installed can be upgraded rather than ripped out and replaced!

Smaller Footprint

The SunCube is a ground mount installation. An array of SunCubes take up half the space of the standard solar panel ground mount systems. A one megawatt standard PV array produces 1.4 million kWh/year. One megawatt of SunCubes produces up to 2.5 million kWh/year. These systems take up half the acreage required by solar panels.

Our Future

It is time to build a sustainable US Energy System.

Time to create green jobs.

Time to save a planet

Power Costs Are Rising

SunCube is your solution. Energy prices are steadily increasing, 5% to 15% per year. The utilities expect this trend to continue. The right size SunCube array can eliminate your electricity costs. When Cap and Trade becomes law, the renewable energy credits earned by your array will save you even more.

The Best Return on Investment

Many utilities across the USA have limited or no incentive programs for solar PV. Even those that do are trending toward reducing those programs. Such incentives, along with federal incentives, are needed for standard flat panels to be affordable.

The SunCube does not need a local rebate to be viable. Return on Investment is excellent right now with only the federal incentives, which run through 2017.
