From Research to Finished Product

Absolicon X10 - The light is focused on the solar cells in the centre of the trough. Each solar cell produces 0,5 Volts and 10 Amperes. The solar cells are cooled by water from the behind and produce 50°C hot water

Absolicon is realising the dream of finding an inexpensive way to generate electricity and thermal heat from sunlight. Our know-how is based on 20 years of Swedish research.

The story of Absolicon starts in 2002. In keeping with the long Swedish tradition of focus on concentrating systems, the company sponsors Logosol, helped to initiate an ambitious research project on concentrators. The project involved around 10 projects at, among others, the Universities in Borlänge, Lund, and Uppsala, as well as at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm.

After 2005 the project took a more goal-orientated form in order to produce a commercial product. In 2007 Absolicon Solar Concentrator was established and the first demonstration installations were built in Sweden and Germany.
