Energy Innovations

Energy Innovations (EI) pioneered the development of Highly Concentrated PV (HCPV) as a means of reducing the cost of solar energy. By taking a holistic approach to system design, EI integrated its Sunflower module, 2-axis tracker, mounting structure, and primary wiring to significantly reduce installation time and total installed costs. In this way, Energy Innovations created the lowest levelized cost of solar energy solution available.
