manufacturer). 

Sub Category: R&D, Solar PV 


A producer of silicon-based unique bifacial photovoltaic (PV) solar cells. 


No. of employees: 10 


bSolar is a developer and producer of the first bifacial photovoltaic (PV) solar cells that produce up to 30% 

more electricity per cell at the same production cost as conventional cells, doubling by that the PV Project 

IRR and halving the payback time. Founded in Israel in 2007 in Israel, with an office in Germany, bSolar 

brings together over 35 years of Experience in developing high-efficiency silicon-based PV cells. The 

company is headed by an execution-oriented management team with a proven track record in building 

500+MWp silicon-based cell production lines. 

Examples of past projects 

4 MWp of bifacial cells and modules made by bSolar’s industrial partner, are successfully operating in 

various commercial installations and sites in Europe. bSolar has signed agreements for the sales of over 

350 MWp over 3 years with various customers in Europe and Asia. The company will soon launch its first 

large production plant with a 3-year target of reaching over 500 MWp/year production capacity. 


General description: bSolar’s Bifacial Photovoltaic Cell 

bSolar’s differentiated and disruptive bifacial cell technology is based on P-type, mono-crystalline, Boron 

BSF, open back sided bifacial silicon cells, which collect solar energy from its both front and back sides. The 

cells have an improved front side efficiency due to an improved BSF, the elimination of aluminum back layer 

and the superior boron solubility in silicon. The cell has an overall improved efficiency due to its bifaciality, 

the IR transparency and lower working temperature and its thinner silicon wafer avoids cell bowing and 

provides very low in-process breakage rate. These mono-crystalline cells collect by their active backside 

also the substantial amount of light reflected from both the earth and the atmosphere and offer up to 30% 

additional energy output. 

With this back collection capability, bSolar’s mono-crystalline bifacial cell provides an unprecedented 

and industry leading equivalent efficiency (front efficiency plus back collection) of more than 21%, with 

an even higher equivalent efficiency of 24% expected from the company’s 2nd generation cell, at a low 

production cost. 


bSolar’s cell is the best solution for rooftops and ground installations, as well as for trackers, PV sound 

barriers, facades and some forms of BIPV. It is proven, patent pending, successfully operating in 

European commercial sites and ready for production expansion. 


bSolar seeks today for complementary funding, as well as for new customers who will join our list of 

strategic customers from Germany, China and Japan.

Eternegy Ltd. has developed a unique, green and cost-effective way to improve Photovoltaic (PV) 

electricity generation. Our state of the art solar-tracking technology improves reliability and dramatically 

reduces costs. Our goal is to help bring utility-scale solar power generation to 'grid parity' rates (electricity 

cost at regular grid rates) by reducing capital and operational expenditures. We call it ‘surfing the sun’. 




Our product is a state-of-the-art large (100m2) Tracker for Photovoltaic (PV) panels suited to making 

the most of any solar power plant. While solar panel technologies are constantly evolving solar tracking 

systems have stood still. Current solar tracking technologies are at best evolutions of ideas that are 

decades old. Our innovative approach changes the basic design of solar trackers and reduces a solar 

plant’s environmental footprint whilst increasing its efficiency. 

The Solar energy market, and the PV segment in particular, has become a multi-billion dollar market in 

the past few years ($80Bn in 2010) and future annual growth rates well above 25% are expected. 

The Eternegy Tracker is designed to meet the needs of all utility scale PV solar projects currently seen 

in the USA, Germany, Spain, China and India. It is also designed to meet the needs of PV solar projects 

planned or expected in all other relevant countries such as Morocco, Australia, and many more. 

The Tracker market is a subset of the PV utility-scale market. Currently a $2bn market it is expanding rapidly. 


Our unique solar tracking technology promises to be the most effective and efficient approach to 

following the sun. It is designed to be greener and more cost-effective than any other system available: 

1. Greener: Fewer materials, Less shipping, Easier installation 

2. Cost-effective: 

a. 50% less steel and concrete than other trackers 

b. Improved wind resistance (less down time) 

c. Reduced maintenance costs 

d. 40% more electricity than fixed panels 

To find out how we are achieving this please contact us at info@eternegy.com 


Our target market is utility scale Photovoltaic installations. We envision a future where we work with EPC 

companies to improve returns across the full range of utility scale solar plants.

TIGI introduces a new breed of Solar-Thermal (water heating) Collector that turns sunlight to heat. What 

makes our collector (“panel”) unique is its ability to minimize energy losses to the environment, resulting 

in very high efficiency even in freezing conditions and in applications such as process heat where high 

temperature is required. 




Founded in 2007, TIGI controls IP assets that were developed by its founder over the last 20 years. Its 

underlying technology has been validated in multiple sites across Europe; its collectors were tested 

successfully by the world’s leading research institutes. 



Retention of heat is achieved by our proprietary transparent insulation collector technology that allows 

solar radiation to enter the collector unhindered while suppressing convection and back radiation. In fact, 

our collector outperforms the best Flat Plate and Evacuated Tube collectors in annual yield per gross unit 

area with the performance gap increasing with latitude. 


At the heart of TIGI’s breakthrough is a highly efficient, patent-protected, transparent insulation collector 

technology called the Thermal Envelope. Incorporating proprietary components and design, it allows 

sunlight to pass through while efficiently blocking most of the back radiation and suppressing convection/ 

conduction heat losses. The resulting solar energy, in the form of heat, warms water in the collector 

module, which can be used for sanitary purposes or circulated in the local space heating system. 

TIGI vs. Leading Flat Plate Collector 

The chart compares the performance of TIGI’s collector to 

one of the market’s leading flat plate collector. The higher 

the figure on the horizontal axis, the colder and less sunny 

the conditions. It shows that during typical European 

winter conditions, while the flat plate collector stops 

producing useful energy altogether, TIGI’s collector still 

operates at 40% efficiency.
