The optimal solar energy system for large buildings
With the Absolicon X10 solar concentrator you only need one system in order to produce both electricity and heat. In a conventional solar energy installation you must install a separate photovoltaic panel and a thermal collector to produce the same energy as the Absolicon X10. We are convinced that solar energy is the solution to the world´s energy problem, and are certain that the Absolicon X10 will be an important part of that solution.
The Absolicon X10 is the best solar energy system in the world at producing large amounts of heat energy at high temperatures, while at the same time producing electricity. Absolicon X10 is also the first solar concentrator in the world to have received the coveted Solar Keymark certification.

Absolicon X10 - Parabolic solar concentrator
A new era has been initiated through the launch of the Absolicon X10. The revolutionary idea behind our product is concentrating the sunlight in a cost effective manner with a unique design to produce electricity and heat simultaneously. The parabolic solar concentrator technology that Absolicon has developed combining photovoltaic cells and a solar collector is the result of many years of research and testing.
With the X10 you only need one system in order to produce electricity and heat. Thereby, the X10 optimizes the use of the space on for example roof tops where the modules can be installed, at the same time we dramatically reduce installation costs as less cables and piping is required. In addition to this the X10 includes a solar tracking and control system (PLC) device with electrical custom-designed high quality linear actuators. The tracking system automatically turns the X10 towards the sun, and with the help of built-in temperature sensors it ensures that the solar system never overheats.
The X10 construction is optimized for installations larger than 100 m2. The X10 is offered in two different lengths; 6 and 10 meters. These different lengths can be linked together in series for installations without any surface restrictions, i.e. everything between 100 m2 - 100 000 m2 are possible installations with the X10. Our products are optimally installed in properties that have a high consumption of hot water like for example hotels, hospitals, industries, sport-centers, airports and apartment buildings.
Awarded Swedish solar concentrator research
By concentrating the sunlight we can significantly increase the energy efficiency per surface area compared to conventional photovoltaic panels and solar collectors. Our knowledge comes from 30 years of Swedish solar energy research. We have developed and perfected a unique concept for solar concentrators. Absolicon has received many awards for its work and involvement in environmental issues, such as The Sustainable Stockholm Award (which was received from his Majesty Carl XVI Gustav)and The WWF Carl Mannerfeldt prize.
The future is here - parabolic concentrators
We are realizing the dream of generating electricity and heat from sunlight in an economic way. The fundamental idea is to challenge conventional energy sources with solar energy, and thus dramatically decrease our emissions and environmental impact. With the X10 a building can become entirely self-sufficient in energy. Fossil fuels are a limited resource and will someday deplete. We are convinced that concentrated solar energy is the solution to today’s energy problem and with the Absolicon X10 we are ready to show it to the world!
