Glasinel - High Concentration Photovoltaic Fresnel Lenses
Date: 2010.09.03
High Concentration Photovoltaic system
There are several technologies to convert solar power into electricity. Silicon based solution, including single, poly crystalline, and Thin-film poly crystalline, takes more than 90% share of current market. The current conversion rate of silicon based solution is limited to 18% to 24.7% max. However, the conversion rate of compound based chip, such as GaAs/GAInP/Ge crystalline, can achieve around 30% to 41.6% max. HCPV is the compound based solution that provides the highest efficiency. There are two types of HCPV system: one is reflective type using either reflective dish or linear Fresnel technology, the other one is refractive type using circular Fresnel lens or lens array.

Glasinel TM product line is the refractive type of Concentration Photovoltaic Fresnel lens and lens array. Comparing to traditional PV, the advantage of Glasinel TM is quite straight forward.
- Conversion efficiency
- Minimized solar cell usage: Low total cost even added up the tracker and module costs
- No material shortage issue
- Recyclable material
- Utilization of dry and otherwise deserted land
Applications
Solar concentrators are often mounted on a solar tracker in order to keep the focal point upon the cell as the sun moves across the sky. With the concentration of the sun light, the cells require high-capacity heat sinks to prevent thermal destruction.
HCPV is suitable for large-sized solar power plant and/or combination with parking lot and farm application. The desired locations for HCPV are those with abundant sunshine and dry weather.
Lens Construction
The Glasinel TM product series consists of two different type of material: Silicon on Glass and PMMA.

Taiwan International Green Industry Show (TIGIS) is Taiwan’s largest show dedicated to the environment. TIGIS 2010 at the TWTC from Oct. 25th to 28th will be even larger with 250 exhibitors who will display their latest “Green Tech” products ranging from wind power, fuel cell, LED lighting, electrical vehicles, recycling, anti-pollution, green building materials, to water treatment and deep ocean water applications.
And at the same place and time as TIGIS 2010 comes PV Taiwan (Taiwan International Photovoltaic Forum & Exhibition) & CEPSI (Conference of the Electric Power Supply Industry) that will attract even more suppliers and buyers from related industries. Better still TIGIS alone contains 3 themes shows for buyers to make one-stop sourcing – Clean Energy, Green Environment, & Water Technology. Please welcome to the TIGIS and look forward to seeing you at booth No.1120.

HOLO SCREEN: THE DIGITAL SIGNAGE WITH A SCI-FI LOOK
New color scheme created to fit for various attractions and design
Date: 2010.07.27
TAIPEI, TAIWAN (JULY, 2010) – Probright Technology has released a new series of Holo Screen with see-through capability designated for shopping mall, sport bar, telepresence, and retail store digital signage application. Floating image of product or brand name can be easily generated on the shop window to attract people’s attention. Futuristic and scientific look and feel is the main drive to lure customer to stop by.
With years of experience in design and manufacturing optical lenses for rear projection screen, Holo screen is initially designed with transparent blue to provide great contrast effect and sharp image especially for retail store window display.
The new series adds four other colors, green, orange, yellow, and clear, to fit for various requirements for contrast and application. BLUE provides best contrast feel, GREEN lighter, then ORANGE, YELLOW and at last CLEAR. Shop owner and integrator get the chance to choose for meet different needs in design.
“With our High-penetrated Optical Material technology, also known as HOM,” stated Larry Lai, Probright’s Executive Vice President, “Holo screen can provide see-through capability without sacrificing image quality. We are excited to be able to offer this new series to help shop owner and integrator to enhance the advertising effects, branding awareness and system design.”
About Probright Technology, Inc.
With the merge of the prominent Demark large screen maker, SVS, in 2001, Probright, formerly the Display Product Technology Division of Prodisc Technology, was founded. Prodisc is a Taiwanese public company specialized in manufacturing various type of CD and DVD disc. On Jan 1st, 2010, Probright got official spin-off with full financial independence. The company’s core capability includes the design, tooling and manufacturing of rear projection screen and Fresnel lenses from 3” to 150” in sizes. Its technology has also been integrated in other areas including solar concentrated photovoltaic (CPV), optical film, 3D display, and digital signage. www.probright.com.tw
