Capsun was created in 2017 as a technology company developer.
The main business is focused on two areas: the development of our proprietary BlueSolar Technology as well as the engineering and development of PV and Wind projects with advanced grid stability capabilities procured by synchronous condensers. In this field, we have developed more than 1 GW of projects with this architecture.
We are proud partners of Ghenova Engineering, a multinational firm with 1000 employees, 50 M€ sales who are a reference in Defense, Naval and Industrial sectors
BlueSolar is the first commercial hybrid technology that intelligently integrates photovoltaic (PV) technology with solar thermal (ST) technology.
BlueSolar PV-thermal technology integrates within the glass of a PV panel an intelligent optical filter that allows the efficient implementation of low cost thermal energy storage made by liquid water, with an excellent roundtrip efficiency of 85%.
The filter transmits to the PV cell wavelengths where the Si cell is highly efficient and specularly reflect back to a centralized thermal receiver the non-efficient part of the solar spectrum. The Heat Transfer fluid as well as storage media is liquid water.
The CDTI seal of excellence program financed the construction of a pilot plant in Puertollano (SoE-20211009). Recently the technology was considered as strategic technology and selected within national renewable supply chain framework (IDAE PR-RENOVAL 2024-000046).
Energy Storage
Bluesolar can efficiently integrate low cost water thermal storage to PV while also featuring zero degradation with 100% depth of discharge. It also gives strategic independence vs standard BESS systems that can be affected by geopolitical tensions.
Predictive revenues
Our long duration storage technology enables to plan in advanced the energy delivery to maximize and secure revenue streams together with baseload PPAs.
Synchronous Technology
Synchronous technologies are fundamental for grids with high penetration of standard renewable technologies since they add real inertia for frequency regulation and short circuit power for voltage stability.
Technology: BlueSolar is the first PV plant with thermal storage that provides cost effective dispatchable solar renewable generation.
Market demand: Modern and resilient power grids need renewable synchronous technologies that can gradually substitute gas cycles and nuclear technologies
Competition: Our water storage is more cost efficient, durable & reliable than standard BESS
