As toronto.name notes, Morgan Solar is a well-known solar power and optical technology company, which is located in Toronto. In addition, the company is engaged in the production of situ IV curve tracers and optical film technologies.
The beginning of its history
The company was founded by brothers John Paul Morgan and Nicolas Morgan in 2007. Initially, the organisation specialised in optical technologies. It aimed to produce solar energy at a price that could compete with the variety of traditional energy sources.
The company’s team consists of scientists, engineers and business administrators. In addition, there were production experts, developers and testing specialists.
In 2010, Asif Ansari became the Chief Executive Officer of the company.
Mike Andrade joined the team in 2016. He changed the company significantly and closed the CPV and Tracker divisions.
Also, under his leadership, the company’s product portfolio acquired several new projects.
Some of them were the SPOTlight platform and SimbaX optical film optimising the characteristics of such products as silicon panels.
A unique product
The company developed the SPOTlight platform, which embodied the union of traditional silicon solar cells and optics. It is used for optimisation of productivity.
An important development
Another product of the company is the IV DAQ. It is a curve tracer that is designed to collect data on modular performance.
The curves are transmitted with data stored by reference cells, weather stations and pyranometers. This process takes place through a wireless gateway and a cloud-based Analytics Portal. It enables comparison and analysis of longitudinal data, as well as allows you to determine DC side field health.
The tracer has been greatly improved and matches easily with any of the other sensors.
Films
SimbaX Optic Films are considered a legacy product of the enterprise. After all, this product has been in great demand on the market since the first days of the organisation’s existence.
Such optic films are applied to the surface of the photovoltaic silicon element back sheets. It leads to performance optimisation via maximisation of photons number.
Legacy technologies
The Sun Simba became another legacy product that was particularly popular at the beginning of the company’s history. It worked on “Light-guide Solar Optic”, which focused light collected from a large surface on a small highly efficient solar cell that is involved in energy conversion. It should be noted that the company carried out Sun Simba testing in the province of Ontario.
A convenient addition
Later, the company developed a special tracker as an addition to Sun Simba. Also, it can be used to increase the performance of a standard photovoltaic panel.
The tracker turned out to be very competitive. After all, it is quite easy to install, as it doesn’t require in-advance assembling and, most importantly, heavy equipment. Thus, the tracker is more convenient and user-friendly.
