The SPIRE project replaces traditional mirrors in concentrated solar power plants with photovoltaic panels that include optical filters. This technology efficiently converts solar energy into both electricity and thermal energy for various applications, promoting renewable energy use.
The main idea behind SPIRE project is simple: the typical mirrors of CSP-Tower plants are substituted by PV panels with an integrated optical filter that spectrally splits the solar radiation.
The filter lets the radiation used efficiently by PV panel go through (mainly visible light) while reflects 40% of the energy (mainly blue light and infrared). SPIRE has no loses compared to a 1 axis PV Plant, and converts into thermal energy (using a Tower-CSP-TES system) the heat that today overheats PV…
