Company profile

Naked Energy company profile

Naked Energy has developed an innovative hybrid solar technology generating combined heat and power. The versatile, modular design of Virtu® places crystalline photovoltaic cells in an evacuated solar thermal collector. For any given area more of the sun’s energy is converted into heat and electricity (80% of the 1000W/m2 available) thanks to the patented heat transfer mechanism. Thermal and electrical outputs are optimized irrespective of geographic or climatic conditions. With the isothermally cooled PV cells protected from the environment, Virtu® is especially suited to harsh high-insolation markets. Naked Energy is in the final stages of preparing for commercial launch to address global applications for domestic, commercial and industrial customers. Virtu® is both disruptive and scalable.
