Sunseeker Energy Holding AG (SSE) today confirmed the compatibility of the SSE 2nd generation prototype with mains pressure water systems.

SSE tracking hardware has been developed utilising low cost novel components that require none of the usual control systems usually associated with dual axis tracking.

SSE Technical Director, Antony Howard said that the prototype demonstrated the ability for excess energy to be utilised as heat energy. The removal of heat energy and use of such energy elsewhere has helped enhance electrical performance by keeping the wafers at a more constant temperature over a wider range of solar radiation conditions.

The designs have been finalised and are ready for production through licensees and directly through the SSE supply chain.
