At Renkube, we have invented a new technology called Motion Free Optical Tracking that can increase the efficiency of solar PV panels by 20% - the same increase as a tracker but without the operational overheads since there are no moving parts. These panels would directly contribute to lowering the carbon footprint.

Existing fixed-tilt panels generate peak power only at noon. During the rest of the day, the panel is underutilized - at 9am your solar panel could be generating only 50% power. Thus panels are not operating at their maximum potential for the full day as seen in the bell curve graph below.

Renkube solves this problem with MFOT - by increasing redirection of light at the times the panel is not performing at it's peak, the efficiency of the panel during the early morning/late evening times is increased. Prisms are attached along the panel to achieve this redirection

High Efficiency

Achieving a "squareish" curve over the course of a day can give a whopping 20% increase in efficiency over the course of the year.

​

No Maintenance

Unlike trackers that use motors to track the sun, Renkube panels have no moving parts - the prisms are locked in place. No extra cleaning or maintenance is required for Renkube panels.

​

Best Value

With 20% increase in efficiency and minimum capital cost increase, the cost per unit significantly comes down. While trackers also solve the problem by making up for the deficit in non-peak hours, their higher capital, maintenance and installation costs make Renkube panels a far more attractive solution.

​

Compatibility

MFOT can work with any current or future advancements like PERC, Bifacial and cell technologies to give a 20% improvement over the existing output. Since MFOT relies on glass prisms, absolutely no change in solar cells is required.

​

Reliability

MFOT prisms have been designed and optimized to illuminate all cells of a panel uniformly and to never cross the one-sun limit. Absence of hotspots and lack of moving parts ensures the panel's lifetime is guaranteed to be the same as that of a fixed tilt panel - 25 years.

​

Go Green!

Solar panels reduce carbon emission but with a Renkube panel, the world only gets greener. Using MFOT technology translates to planting 24 million trees for every Gigawatt plant! This would go a long way towards contributing to a sustainable future.
