SRB Energy Research Sàrl

SRB Energy is the first company in the world to have developed, industrialized and distributed a solar thermal collector featuring Ultra High Vacuum technology able to reach a stagnation temperature of 400ºC without solar tracking. Such high performance is possible thanks to the exceptional vacuum thermal insulation which considerably reduces the collector heat losses, and to its selective absorber coating, featuring high absorptivity in the visible spectrum and low emissivity in the infrared spectrum. After the initial evacuation, the vacuum is maintained for more than 20 years by a getter pump regenerated by the sun. The adopted getter and the evacuated solar panel were patented by the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, and it has been licensed to SRB Energy since 2005.
