Efficient PV-Thermal Micro-concentrator

澳大利亚必须在电力、供暖和制冷方面减少对碳源的依赖。光伏-热混合微型聚光器开发将提供一种重量轻，外形低，成本效益高的系统，可以安装在几乎任何情况下，具有多种输出，可以提供电网平价电力，以及提供水加热，空间加热，工业过程加热和太阳能冷却能力。美国将通过提高能源独立性、国际研究认可和减少温室气体排放而受益。此外，这项技术的成功商业化将提高澳大利亚的研究地位，并提供良好的特许权使用费收入，为未来的研究和开发提供资金。

Australia must reduce its dependence on carbon sources for electricity, heating, and cooling. The PV-thermal hybrid micro-concentrator development will deliver a light-weight, low-profile, cost-effective system that can be installed in almost any situation, with versatile output that can deliver electricity at grid parity as well as providing water heating, space heating, industrial process heat, and solar cooling capabilities. The nation will benefit through enhanced energy independence, international research recognition, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Further, successful commercialisation of this technology will enhance Australia's research standing and provide a good royalty income that will fund future research and development.
