Microsharp thin film Fresnsel lenses

Microsharp microstructured thin film Fresnel lenses are an attractive alternative to existing solar lens technologies Our proprietary conical and curved lenses include a number of elegant design innovations which deliver outstanding performance.

Benefits include…

• High optical efficiency – typically >85%.
• A low cost, high speed manufacturing process
• Precise structure replication
• Design flexibility – up to 40cm edge length
• Designed to precise customer specification
• Low development and tooling cost.
• Tighter focal spot definition
• Shorter focal depth

Types of lens available

Microsharp produce lenses for use in a variety of applications

• HCPV systems
• Low Concentration PV systems
• Thermal CSP applications.

Our Service

Microsharp offers a bespoke lens design and development service to ensure each lens perfectly matches the requirements of a customer’s system.

This service includes…

• Lens design and performance modelling using proprietary in-house software packages
• Production tooling design and manufacture
• Initial hand cast test samples
• ‘Pilot plant’, small scale test manufacturing
• Full scale commercial manufacturing (current internal capacity 1.5 million m² per year)

Because our manufacturing process requires lower investment in production tooling, we can develop bespoke lenses and significantly lower up front cost than other lens technologies.
