With our patent Cogen’Air® panel, we have reviewed the traditonal photovoltaic panel. Not only it produces hot air and electricity, but it has a thermal efficiency much higher than its electrical efficiency.

This hybrid panel produces more heat than electricity!
When a photovoltaic panel collects rays of sunshine, it only converts 20% into electricity.
The more it is exposed to the sun’s rays, the more its cells overheat and the poorer its electrical efficiency.

Watertight enclosure or cap
On the front side, the panel produces electricity.
On the rear side, thanks to a heat exchanger developed by BASE, heat is transferred to an air flow below the panels. With the help of turbulators, it allows us to get hot air by lingering it on the back of the photovoltaic panels.
At the slightest ray of sunshine, Cogen’Air® rises up in temperature!
Thanks to Cogen’Air®’s innovative heat recovery system, the released heat is extracted for the purpose of heating and drying. The air flowing on the back of the panels avoids the cells’ overheating and improves its electrical efficiency.
Heat is freely generated for your facility.
Heat is exploited for :
Collective housing
Barn hay dryers
Wood energy dryers
Waste dryers
Cogen’Air® was created in our building in Gironde, France. Concerned about the quality and the chosen materials’ carbon footprint, we exclusively work with french suppliers.
