The Sunovate system produces both electricity and heated air from PV panels to create a total energy solution. The system generates 3 times more energy (in the form of heat and electricity) than a standalone PV system. The combination of the two solar technologies (PV & T) in one footprint offsets both heating and electricity costs and addresses the two main energy requirements in a range of sectors. This helps to reduce operating costs and maximize CO2 displacement.

The beauty of the Sunovate system is its simplicity. It works in conjunction with existing solar panels. It can be fitted to the back of any existing solar panel and comprises two components: a heat exchanger and cassette/mounting system.

Sunovate provides a simple solution to uniformly cool solar panels and increase energy output. Sunovate reduces system complexity providing consumers much greater flexibility in the way the heat by product is utilised. Sunovate can be retrofitted to existing PV's or installed new. Sunovate is a significant improvement on existing PVT technologies as its novel design creates greater efficiencies and thermal flexibility exceeding any product in the marketplace. The thermal energy can be stored or used directly and unlike other thermal systems, it can serve a number of these heating requirements simultaneously. Sunovate can be applied with heat pump technology to extend the thermal service range.

Sunovate has a myriad of applications to suit the needs of the climatic and demographic locale;

- heat and electricity production for heat-based drying applications (agriculature, food and beverage, biomass, wood, waste, chemical processing)

- heat, electrcity and hot water production for commercial buidlings and retail domestic uses.

Apart from pure energy, heating and cooling needs, the technology can be used to harvest water, capture atmospheric condensate, utilised in district heating, applied for the production of low grade steam or process drying. 

The technology also has a role to play in emergency relief and remote/offgrid applications.
