We have worked hard for many years to optimize our product and are happy to be awarded for our work, says Joakim Bystrom, CEO of Absolicon.

The company from Sweden had their own stand at the world’s largest solar energy exhibition. This year, the expo was visited by 77 000 visitors. The price was awarded at a ceremony that has been named “The Oscar of the Solar Energy Industry”. The prize is given in three categories and rewards groundbreaking products within solar energy sector.

We were honored be nominated. To actually win the prize here in Munich is an fantastic experience and we have got a lot of interest for our unique solar collector.

The Absolicon X10 PVT generates both heat and electricity and is developed to supply energy for large buildings like hospitals, hotels and industry – a fast growing solar market both in Europe and the rest of the world.

Many of the visitors here at Intersolar are installers looking for new products and we have many requests already for installations world-wide, says Joakim Byström.

Motivation of the jury:
“Absolicon Solar Concentrator AB, Härnösand/Schweden, uses PVT collectors to combine solar power generation with the use of solar heat. The ‘Absolicon X10 PVT’ is the first concentrating PVT collector where priority is given to generating heat. The jury believes that the solution’s technical construction generates significantly higher yields than previous systems. It was also particularly impressed by the first successful applications in buildings and the technical characteristics documented in the test reports.”
