SunOyster Systems GmbH

SunOyster Systems GmbH is an innovative company from Northern Germany that has specialized in the development and manufacturing of revolutionary solar technologies since 2012. The centerpiece of their offering is the SunOyster, a concentrating solar technology that simultaneously generates electricity and heat. This technology uses parabolic mirrors to concentrate direct sunlight onto a focal line, where it is focused in a hybrid receiver onto highly efficient solar cells. This process converts about 30% of the direct light into electricity and 45% into heat, resulting in an overall efficiency of 75%[3][4].

The main products include:

• SunOyster 8 and 16: These models are designed for various applications, from single-family homes to commercial roofs. They offer variants such as "heat" for heat output and "hybrid" for a combination of heat and electricity[2][3].
• PVmover: A dual-axis solar tracker that produces up to 50% more electricity than fixed-mounted PV modules. These trackers are suitable for ground, carports, garages, and stable roofs[2].
• PV Lightweight Modules: Lightweight PV modules with glass coating, particularly suitable for roofs with low load reserves or as facade PV[2].

The mission of SunOyster Systems is to drive the energy transition for electricity and heat by providing innovative and space-efficient solar systems. The company focuses on developing technologies that can meet the entire energy needs of buildings, from 100% heat to 100% electricity. The emphasis is on high efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability[2][3].

SunOyster Systems is strongly committed to promoting sustainable energy sources and focuses on environmentally friendly solutions. Here are some of the company's sustainability initiatives:

• High Efficiency and Land Use: The SunOyster technology generates at least double the energy compared to modern photovoltaics, significantly increasing the solar coverage of buildings[3][4].
• Recyclable Design: The systems are designed to be sorted and recycled after their lifespan of at least 20 years. Plastic is minimized, and the materials used in the solar cells can be reused[4].
• International Test Installations and Certifications: SunOyster Systems has conducted worldwide test installations and received certifications such as the Solar Keymark certificate to ensure the quality and reliability of their technology[3].

The company has been successful in various projects and tenders, including:

• State of Baden-Württemberg: SunOyster Systems has been awarded the contract to equip public roofs in Baden-Württemberg with their PV lightweight modules[2][5].
• Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf: The installation of 26 PVmover in the mast version for the Helmholtz Center is another example of the successful implementation of their technology in large projects[2][5].
• School Projects and University Collaborations: SunOyster Systems has also carried out projects in schools and universities, such as the installation of solar modules on the roof of the sports hall of the Rugenbergen Community School and collaboration with Hanover University of Applied Sciences[2][5].

SunOyster Systems GmbH is thus a pioneer in the solar energy industry, paving the way for an environmentally friendly energy future through innovative technologies, high efficiency, and sustainability.
