Who is Andre Broessel?
German architect Andre Broessel designed a spherical solar power generator. Rawlemon wants the Spherical Sun Power Generator to revolutionize solar energy. Broessel was a finalist in the 2013 World Technology Network Award with World Design.
He has 27 years of management, design and technology experience. Its main focus is complex technology.
Andre has an updated version for 2016. Andre thinks outside the box. He’s a bit of a nonconformist when he sees the future of solar power.
The future is in the hands of Sbotic Ltd
Sbotic was established in 2014. They are tasked with marketing Rawlemon’s spherical solar generator. Sbotic ltd. acquired patents for Rawlemon’s ” SixCities ” power generation module and ” MicroTrack ” system.
The company based in London, England in 2014. Sbotic Ltd. (Sun Robotics) is a division of Ramlemon Company.
Sbotic ltd is pushing the boundaries of solar energy conversion. They are showing that net zero energy buildings could be a standard in the future. The mission of Sun Robotics is to integrate the solar energy generator in the environment of cities. This would include buildings and homes.
Spherical Solar Power Generator
Andrea Broessel and Rawlemon have created a prototype of a spherical solar power generator. The generator is called a Beta ray. Its technology is a combination of spherical geometry and dual axis tracking system. This allows twice the output of a conventional spherical solar power generator solar panel. The solar panel of the generator is small compared to a normal panel.
The sphere is fully rotatable and can be placed on walls, buildings and any space with direct sunlight. According to Broessel, it can be placed in an electric car charging station.
You might think the spherical generator is from some science fiction movie. You would be wrong.
Beta Ray parts exposed
-
Silicon cell area reduced to 25%
-
Increase in efficiency to 57%. The solar panel is 22 to 24%,
-
Ultra transmission ball lens point focus concentrator.
-
During the night hours, the spherical ball can illuminate an area with some LEDs.
-
The modular collector system charges and stores energy during daylight.
-
It can collect energy from the moon. That’s right, the moon.
-
How does it work. Sunlight is collected through the ultra-transmission ball lens focusing hub.
-
Concentrated sunlight is stored in solar cells.
-
It is then sent to the generator for use in homes or commercial buildings.
Different tasks for the solar power generator
The Beta ray was designed for off-grid conditions and a complement to the electrical needs of buildings. Also the idea is to provide thermal circuits such as hot water.
The spherical solar power generator can be used as an architectural marvel. Beta ray has the ability to track the sun all day. Solar panels don’t track.
6 different tasks of the solar generator
-
Provide electricity
-
Produce thermal production
-
The solar generator has transparency
-
Capable of shading
-
Building ventilation
-
The spherical generator is a work of art.
1 to 5 above will transform the future of zero energy buildings.
Generator will provide electricity for buildings and homes with an efficiency 4 times higher than the typical solar panel at 22% of the current market.
The solar generator will produce thermal production which in turn heats the water.
The spherical ball is transparent and the hybrid collector will increase the efficiency of smaller solar panels.
Solar generator for use with solar umbrellas for shade.
The generator will produce ventilation for buildings.
Coming soon Rawlemon solar devices
Under the Rawlemon umbrella, there is now a new division called Indiegogo. They are introducing the world’s first Building Integrated Concentrated Solar Power (BICSP) technology. This product will be on sale in December.
Introducing Beta.ey 80LIM for $ 119.00. This will be the first spherical solar power generator combined with concentrating solar charger and moonlight projector in one design. Beta.ey will be able to charge iPhones, iPads and many other devices.
The Beta.ey concept is in line with the mega prototype designed by German architect Andre Broessel. The prototype took three years to form a device that will be in the hands of consumers at Christmas.
Rawlemon has a large spherical lens that does not move. The solar charger moves around the back of the dial. It will follow the concentrated sunlight passing to the other side. A typical solar panel must be moved manually to follow the sunlight. In other words, it is much more efficient to capture sunlight and ultimately produce more electricity.
Great too!
See how Beta.ey works
Beta-ey requires a solar panel 1% the size of standard solar generators. This device works well on cloudy days. It has the ability to attract diffuse light. This spherical solar power generator will be used for mobile devices.
Cool factor number one! There are built-in LEDs to illuminate the globe.
The large-scale Beta-ey will be able to charge electric cars. It will also be available for windows and building walls for electrical and thermal needs.
Full-scale beta-ray
Large-scale beta-ray is for outdoor use. It will be priced at $ 6000. It’s just money. Right? Right now, there is no data spherical solar power generator you can find for ROI. Rawlemon seeks to integrate the beta ray system into the design of the European architecture of the future.
The European Commission directive is to design buildings with almost zero energy consumption. The design process will start in 2019. Rawlemon is in line with the European Commission directive.
Could we see Beta-ray on a large scale in the United States? It will be interesting to see what form of solar energy the world will use in 10 to 20 years.
Final thoughts
The spherical solar power generator has my attention for several reasons.
-
The design concept is out of this crazy smart world.
-
Solar panels are 4 times more efficient due to dual axis tracking and clear ball lens.
-
Solar generator versatility for buildings and electric car charging.
-
Attractive architectural design.
-
Future applications of communities to generate electricity.
Andrea Broessel and Rawlemon have made great strides toward solar independence. They have achieved a viable solar design in less than 6 years. Time will tell if full-scale beta-ray is profitable.
The Beta-ey small-scale solar generator should be a hit with consumers who need to recharge mobile devices. Some competing solar generators cost $ 400- $ 800. You could charge larger devices like a small television, laptop, or lights in a motorhome. That is 4 to 8 times more than Beta-ey. Something to think about.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the near future. I believe that beta-ey and beta-ray on a large scale have a reasonable chance of being successful.
