The aim of this work is to present a dedicated Solar PolygenerationSystem (PROTEAS System) for the simultaneous production ofelectricity, hot water and air-conditioning. The core of thePROTEAS System is the innovative setup of Total InternalReflection Reflectors made of plastic (Primary Optical System),which concentrate the solar rays up to 5,000 suns, homogenized to1,000 suns by specially designed Total Internal ReflectionHomogenizers (Secondary Optical System). High-efficiencyPhotovoltaic Cells are used to generate electricity. Furthermore,water -used for cooling down the photovoltaic cells- is heated up to85-90°C and with the use of an advanced Absorption NH3 HeatPump, is turned to chilled water for air-conditioning (7-12°C) andsubsequently to domestic warm water about 45-55°C. PROTEASmodules are suitably spaced on a low-profile metallic ring whichtracks the sun. The engineering of the system has already beeninitiated and some of the subsystems have been successfullydeveloped. PROTEAS will be installed and evaluated in a buildingunder real operational conditions in order to demonstrate thefeasibility of the investment in terms of energy savings and assessits potential as a new market solution, which can be both costeffective and environmentally friendly.
