MiSTICo

MISTICO will develop a new system of m-CHP based on hybrid CPV (Concentrated Photo Voltaic) systems, enhanced by new plasmonic coatings and coupled with Fresnel lens and micro heat exchangers. The technology will capture the direct solar radiation by a 2-axis tracking system and  will improve the overall efficiency of a CPV cell by the application of new materials and new technological layout. The project is an active cooperation between various FBK units, the University of Trento and the University of Bologna. The objective is the realization of a new technology for efficient m-CHP generation applied to distributed applications and domestic dwellings.
