DualSun & Canopea

HYBRID SOLAR PANEL

What is the goal? Combine both technologies to increase efficiency!

Hybrid Solar = Thermal Solar + Photovoltaic Solar generated by the same panel

Electricity generation thanks to photovoltaic cells on front of panel

Hot water production thanks to heat exchanger on back of panel

CANOPEA PROJECT

DUALSUN ON CANOPEA

8 DualSun panels

Two thermal functions: hot water production during the day and cold water production during the night

HOT WATER & ELECTRICITY IN THE DAY

During the day, DualSun panels produce hot water and electricity for CANOPEA!

Water heated by the solar panel

Hot water tank

Hybrid solar panels

Electricity generated

Solar radiationPhase 1 : Generating hot water and electricity by thermal solar and photovoltaics

COLD WATER PRODUCTION IN THE NIGHT

Water at 35°C

Water at 25°C

Celestial Vault 7°C

Panel loses heat through radiative cooling and cools water

And then in the night, cold water is generated and used for CANOPEA’s air-conditioning during the day !

Phase 2: Producing cold water by radiative cooling
