Such extreme concentration of sunlight would normally create a great amount of heat, which would raise the temperature of the cells to more than 3000°F. At that temperature the PV cells would melt. SUNRGI's proprietary (patents pending) COOLMOVE™ heat transport technology swiftly prevents this undesirable heat build-up so that the PV solar cells are actually kept cooler than their nominal operating temperature, thus extending their useful life.

The reason for concentrating solar energy onto small PV solar cells is to reduce the amount of costly solar cell material needed to generate any given amount of electricity. PV solar cells are an expensive component of any solar system. It is obvious that reducing the amount of PV solar cells by more than 1,600 times has a significant beneficial impact on costs.
