Global investor in the renewable energy and energy efficiency industry and a member of COFRA Group. The current market capitalization of its investment portfolio is more than four billion Euros. It has expanded its strategy by investing in solar downstream, concentrated solar power (CSP), project finance (wind farms and solar power stations) as well as in load management and green buildings.
Distributed Solar Power is developing sun tracking miniature PV concentrators that produce both electricity and heat. In good solar conditions the system can deliver as much as 40% more electricity than competing PV systems and large amounts of heat above 100 degrees celsius for a variety of applications as well. Incubating at Yozmot HaEmek.
Combining software models, optic and system design, semiconductor processes, materials science and mass manufacturing techniques to build cost-effective, highly durable solar energy products. Backed b Evergreen, Pitango, Israel Cleantech and incubated by Precede.
Provides renewable energy solutions for application in home, telecommunication, rural, grid-connected, security, irrigation and additional environments. Maintains a vision to bring electricity to remote locations, private, public and industrial, and to do that with clean and safe energy.
Aims to produce renewable energy in the Arava region and sell it to the residents of the region (including Kibbutzim) and the Israel Electric Company. The company is based in Kibbutz Ketura, the heart of Israel’s Arava desert with intense sunshine nearly 350 days a year. Its majority shareholders are the 135 members of the Kibbutz.
With a state-of-the-art production facility located in Germany completed in December 2005, a much thinner and cost-effective PV module can be produced unconstrained by limits imposed from silicon feed-stock availability. The technology is the result of a ten year research effort conducted by its founders in Sydney.
Producer of the CS500 solar concentrator dish aimed at an integrated PV module at centre. Features include cooling, grid-output, sun tracking, scaleability and more. The dishes can be deployed in farm configurations as small as 50 kW, unlike solar-thermal farms that typically require configurations upward of 30 MW.
Holds patents on Dye Solar Cell (DSC) technology enabling the manufacture of 3rd generation PV modules based on plant-inspired nanotechnology conceived over 10 years ago in Switzerland that in effect allow Dyesol modules to have a greater surface area than conventional PV modules but without an increase in physical size. The modules do not require an undersurface by acting as a wall or roof substitute and are available in a number of colours that appear as ’shaded glass’. Customers worldwide are able to purchase the modules already assembled or the equipment needed for their manufacture. Consulting can be provided.
