Renees

Using loop heat pipe technology, Renees has developed innovative solar thermal panels with a bright chrome plating. These panels are called CoolActiveWall. Loop heat pipe technology is used to remove heat from computer boards. Renee' team applied this technology to solar panels, obtaining a series of patents. The solar thermal panel developed is particularly suitable for wall integration, and compared to traditional solar thermal panels it provides the following advantages:

• lower cost than current solar thermal panels since it uses aluminium instead of copper;
• no corrosion issues;
• suitable for large mass production 
• low flow losses;
• wide range of shades of colours available;
• lowest weight/surface area ratio in the market of solar thermal panels.
