SunOyster cooling

Objetivo

Increasing demand for air conditioning with worldwide more than 100 million units of compression air conditioners sold alone
in 2014 has led to dramatic growth in electricity demand in many countries, to increasing electricity costs and brownouts. An
obvious possibility to counter this trend is to us the same energy for cooling that contributes to the cooling demand – solar
energy.

The objective of the SOcool Project is to use a concentrating photovoltaic/thermal (CPVT) system combined with chillers to
provide the most cost-efficient solar energy on the market in form of electricity, heat and cold. This shall help achieving the
2K target while enhancing the living standard in rather hot climates.

The SunOyster is a concentrating solar technology which can generate at the same time electricity and heat with a very high
efficiency. From serial production, this will result in very low electricity and heat costs. While the electricity can easily be
converted into other forms of energy and can be fed into the grid, the heat is more difficult to convert and has to be used
locally. A technically, micro-economically and macro-economically very good form of using the heat in hot climates is
converting it into cold for the cooling of buildings.

The biggest markets will be Southern Europe (Spain, Southern France, Italy, Greece, Turkey), Northern and Southern Africa,
the Gulf region, India, South-East Asia, parts of China, Southern USA, parts of Middle and South America.
After entering the market in 2017 with big quantities, we expect growth rates of factor 3 respectively 2 and 1.5 in the
following years until 2020 then settle down on growth rates of 10% to 20% in the next decade.
