What is the HE Optics System and how does it work?
Deceptively simple and simply brilliant, the HE Optics System is the part of the Pryon Solar Triad that actually collects the sun’s energy. Together, the system’s three elements produce 800 times more electricity than a similarly sized silicon solar cell. Sunlight first meets the HE Optics System at its specially designed and patented, short focal length, acrylic concentrating lens. As the rays pass through the lens, the light reflects and refracts, raising the sunlight concentration to 6,500 suns on a small pinpoint of light. A secondary optic, with its specially manufactured glass body, captures this pinpoint and deposits the concentrated solar flux evenly on a small multi-junction PV cell.
