ENERGY OF THE SUN
WE LOVE IT
We innovate, know and believe.
You benefit.

All over the world people finally realise that a shift from fossil fuels to sustainable energy is needed to fight energy poverty and reduce CO2
emissions. And that is exactly the promise Solarus makes.
We are a renowned manufacturer of the hybrid PowerCollectorTM, generating three times more energy from the sun than traditional PV-panels. The unique and patented Solarus PowerCollectorTM has the highest yield ever measured. Slowly but certainly the market is discovering that this third generation solar is indeed the most efficient way to get energy from the sun, as was already stated by the International Energy Agency years ago.
Solarus is at the moment the only company in the world, able to produce this technology on a mass scale. The potential for this innovative technology is beginning to show and grow and since it perfectly meets the need of hotels, you can benefit from it.
If we want to stay within the maximum of 2°C degrees temperature rise, we need to scale up renewable energy technology at a massive speed in the coming decade. We are convinced of the performance of our technology and also aware of the enormous challenge ahead.
We believe in our technology and therefore we developed our “Renewable energy as a service”-proposition. In this model there is no need to invest upfront, but you can reduce your energy costs from the start. What we offer is a model in which we design, pre-finance, install and monitor a total energy solution and you simply benefit from renewable energy that is produced at your location.
We hope to speak with you soon to discover the sustainable energy potential for your hotel, because we innovate, know and believe. We know that you can benefit from it.

Solarus offers, as the only company in the world, both Active Cell Cooling and Maximum Reflector Collector Technologies.
This makes the Solarus PowerCollector the absolute highest performing solar collector on the planet generating3x more energy from a surface than conventional PV-panels.
The peak performance of one PowerCollector is : 1.350Wp-Thermal and 275Wp-Electrical
WE INNOVATE
We developed the PowerCollector: a unique and patented technology with the highest energy yield ever measured. Besides electricity the PowerCollector delivers a lot of heat -up to 70°C.

The Solarus PowerCollector is a concentrating, hybrid solar photovoltaic and solar thermal panel.
Concentrating means that it has a curved mirror to collect and reflect more sunlight throughout the day.
Hybrid means that it combines solar photovoltaic (PV) generation of electricity with solar thermal (T) generation heat.

WE KNOW ENERGY
We have in depth knowledge of all energy related assets and advancedsimulation technologies to design the optimal solution.
Conventional solarpanels
Heatpumps
Heat and electricity storage
Adsorption chillers
Waste heat and waste cold recovery
For example at the Vineyard hotel in Cape Town, we combined 60 PowerCollectors with a heat pump.
The heat pump increased equivalent thermal production with 50%
All electrical energy produced by PowerCollector is used to drive the heat pump
The heat pump also acts as a back-up system for low radiation months, it improves overall energy distribution over the year
Technology designed by Vattenfall
We designed the best PowerCollector in the world, but that is just the start. With our knowledge of energy and energy systems, we design the optimal and financially most attractive energy configuration for your specific situation.

WE BELIEVE IN OUR TECHNOLOGY
We do not only promise, but we deliver our “Renewable energy as a service” model in which we design, develop, pre-finance, install and maintain the best energy solution for your situation. This gives you the opportunity to save costs from the start.

THE 4-STAR VINEYARD HOTEL IN SOUTH AFRICA IS CONVINCED
“We are committed to sustainable business practices across our group of hotels and our initiatives in this regard are constantly evolving. The Solarus Hybrid system has increased our capacity for the combined generation of solar and thermal energy which has significantly impacted our rate of energy efficiency.”
The luxury Vineyard hotel in Cape Town was one of the first hotels to install 60 PowerCollectors. After positive results, the Vineyard is in the process of installing 100 additional PowerCollectors.
Per year the system produces
18 MWh electricity & 60 MWh heat
reduces CO2 -emissions by 52 tons

HIGH ENERGY PRICES AND A LOT OF SUN : THE PERFECT COMBINATION FOR THE POWERCOLLECTOR
Depending on the irradiation of the area, the PowerCollector generates heat and electricity with a levelized cost of energy* of €0.04 to €0.08 per kWh and a typical payback time of 5-8 years. Since the PowerCollector generates 3x more energy**, it also generates 3x more profit!
* Levelized Cost of Energy = the cost of energy per kWh over the lifetime of the installation, including all applicable costs ; ** Compared to conventional solarpanels

Choose for maximum output of your rooftopThe Solarus PowerCollector has the highest yield per square meter that has ever been measured. The PowerCollectorgenerates up to three times more energy than regular PV-panels from your roof. This ensures you maximize the potential of your rooftop and or other available areas. Your roof maximally contributes to harvest clean energy and fight climate change.
Choose for a partner We don’t just want to sell you PowerCollectors. We want to make maximum impact and replace as much fossil fuels as possible with a positive business case. We believe in our technology and are therefore willing to invest ourselves and sell the produced renewable energy at a competitive price to you.
Choose for a total solutionWe know energy. With our knowledge, we’re able to design and develop a total energy solution that fits your specific demand. The PowerCollector will be an important element, but we combine our innovative technology with other best in class technologies like heat pumps, storage and adsorption chillers to create the best solution for you.
Choose to be good in the worldSolarus is a certified B-Corporation. When partnering with Solarus, you choose to be good for the world. Let’s get rid of all the fossil fuels and let the sun deliver our energy requirements. We are ready to produce our PowerCollectors at mass scale so we can handle all the power coming from the sun.
