Skyline Solar

The company developed medium-concentration photovoltaic systems to produce electricity for commercial, industrial and utility scale solar markets.

Skyline Solar uses a combination of tracking, cooling fins, and reflectors to focus light on a single strip of silicon cells and maximize energy production.

Integrated trackers adjust the position of the reflectors so that light remains concentrated on the solar cells while the sun travels across the sky.

The Skyline Solar X14 System consists of three principal components: panels, reflectors and an integrated single-axis tracker.

CPV technology has been adopted primarily from large commercial and utility-scale customers in highly sunny locations, such as the US southwest, western India, Italy and Chile.

The company installed its first system at the San Jose-based Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) on May 15, 2009.
