    TenK solar includes an integrated photovoltaic system with designs and manufactures that leverage integrated electricity and a low voltage with parallel structures. If we compared it with conventional solar systems, this structure provides 55% better density of energy, higher reliability, and here is only PV system is this.

    Nice story but now how about third party testing and articles about this panel - all else is smoke. Define "energy density" as well - 55% better than what?

      I start to think this thread is about introducing Tenksolar.....We got people giving out info that you can't even find it on manufacture's website.

        You have TenK in India as well as MN?

        Caution and explain - you are nearly gone!

          Yeah, I read the bottom of the press release, too.

            There will be two sub-arrays each with 8 modules, and covering a total of about 41.5 square meters.

            Because of roof penetrations and other considerations, each sub-array will be laid out as a 3x3 grid with a corner missing. So each sub-array has a gross footprint of about 6m by 4m, but not all that area is filled.

              If the power density (output watts per meter) is limited by the current silicon PV technology it is still possible to increase the energy density (output watt-hours per meter per day) just by having sun shine on the panels longer each day.
              And you could increase the power density of the panels themselves by increasing the light flux hitting them.

              The question then is how you induce the sun to cooperate. Mirrors could do some of that for either approach.
              But I still have not seen a practical mirror technology for rooftop scale.
