Combined infrared and visible light collection

VULVOX Inc's breakthrough collectors will be able to generate more than double the amount of power generated by current solar power tower plants! The Abengoa solar power tower in Spain is currently the worlds biggest. If it is retrofitted with VULVOX hybrid solar energy collectors it will generate 46.5 megawatts, not 20 as it does currently.
 
The dual solar thermal-photovoltaic system will wrest approximately twice as much power from an area as regular solar thermal or photovoltaic energy systems. Our technology can be used to retrofit existing parabolic troughs and solar power towers to increase their efficiency. Besides applications at utility scale solar power plants that are contributing electricity to the California power grid, they will  also have an important advantage in the upcoming industry of rooftop solar power.  Apartment buildings, offices and industrial buildings all have flat roofs that can accommodate our solar power systems and the greater efficiency  of dual thermal-photovoltaic energy generation systems will make it cost competitive with other generation systems.  Between 2009 and 2012 it is expected that the amount of installed CSP solar thermal power in the United States will grow 14 times!
 
The Vulvox collectors will not depend upon complicated advances in quantum or solid state physics. Our novel combination photovoltaic-solar thermal collectors will achieve the unprecedented efficiencies predicted here by means of relatively simple modifications to solar energy equipment; modifications that can be developed at a moderate cost.
The Vulvox solar system will generate higher power levels than competing parabolic troughs and  solar power towers, while retaining all of the storage capabilities of solar thermal power.
 
Besides the inherent efficiency advantages of this collection system, we are sure we can add other modifications that will increase energy collection and electricity generation beyond those efficiencies. Modifications to increase the heat flow rate of the thermal collectors are an example.
 
Every time a photovoltaic panel system is upgraded and increases in power we can substitute it for a lower power panels used in previous "builds." and the higher power panels can be used in upgraded combination PV-solar thermal collectors with higher efficiency. Also, every time solar thermal systems are upgraded they can be combined with the latest practical photovoltaic collectors to keep the next generation combination systems cost competitive and to keep their efficiency higher than all other collection systems.
