Field of application
The small light-weight device can be stored everywhere and therefore is perfectly suited for travelling.
The batteries can be used to store energy as well as to charge mobile phones, MP3 players and other software via a USB connection. But they can also be put directly into the consumer devices.
If you are on the go, the device can be attached to the outside of your bag. If you spend a day in a hotel, the solar panel attaches to the window by means of the suction cup included.
The particular design of the battery holder allows simple insertion and removal of the batteries.
Designed to move
An ideal task for our engineers and designers.
Optimization of the producibility
In the case of the Solaruno we have reduced the number of component parts considerably and have thus simplified the logistics and the entire production process. In this way we have achieved massive savings in the production.
Triple Junction versus conventional solar technology
Solaruno utilises the same solar technology as the space station MIR. Find out why Triple Junction is the perfect solution for this device.
Absorption spectra
Conventional crystalline solar cells merely absorb a part of the solar spectrum. The trilamination of the Triple Junction Technology expands the absorption spectra considerably. Because of this, electricty isn’t only produced around noon but also in the morning and evening hours and in less ideal weather conditions.
Shadow tolerance
Another advantage of the trilamination is the three-times-higher cell voltage. It means that three times less cells in the series need to be connected to achieve the supply voltage. This results in a three times larger tolerance of shadow for Triple Junction solar technology products.
Temperature coefficient
Solar cells lose efficiency with increasing module temperatures. This effect is much higher with conventional solar cells than with the Triple Junction technology. A crystalline solar cell loses around one third of its efficiency at an operating temperature of 85 degrees Celsius. The Triple Junction cell registers less than half of that energy loss.
