在2012年，德国建筑师 André Broessel 设计推出了这一球形玻璃太阳能发电机的早期概念原型。该设计是一款支持“电迁移”（Electro-mobility）的独立式充电站，发电机采用了球形透镜和特殊的几何结构，以便能够比现有的光电板提升 35% 的能源利用效率。通过将对称的、透明的球形几何体用作聚光透镜和发射极，独特的双轴跟踪系统可以完全融入任何建筑的表面，改善现有的用电效率，并保证建筑物高达 99％的透明度。

设计师Broessel 表示：

这个设计除了可以优化太阳能性能，还可以为用户、设计师和建筑师带来便利。不同于任何现有的太阳能技术，它能够保证了高透明度和不受天气影响的建筑一体化。得益于双轴跟踪系统，该设计允许连接标准式或混合式集热器，以便转换电能或热能，成为一个可扩展的、可逆的、自给自足的系统。

此外，与传统的太阳能发电装置相比，它还可以实现自动旋转、防风雨的功能，而且它适用于倾斜的表面或幕墙。这一新的太阳能发电概念设计承载着全新的太阳能发电理念，该设备能够集中漫射的日光或月光。在阴天时，该设备将比传统的太阳能光伏发电系统多产生 4 倍的能量。

该设计配备了模块化的集热系统，可以做到无论是白天还是夜间都能够储存能量。它采用透明液体填充球体作为“点聚焦集中器”，集热器减少了 25% 的硅电池面积。

last year, german architect andré broessel of rawlemon presented designboom with his spherical glass solar energy generator concept in its early prototyping stages. developed as a stand-alone power charger station for electro-mobility, the project uses the advantageous strategy of implementing a ball lens and specific geometrical structure to improve energy efficiency by 35% when compared to existing photo-voltaic panels. by combining symmetrical and transparent spherical geometry as a concentrator lens and emitter, the unique dual axis tracking system can be fully incorporated into any building surface, improving existing efficiency and offering up to 99% transparency.

in addition to increased and optimum solar performance, the design offers benefits for users, designers and architects,’ explains broessel. ‘unlike any existing solar technology, the design and its dematerialized aesthetic permits high transparency and full building integration with no weather impact, due to its dual axis tracking system. the design allows the possibility to connect both standard and hybrid collectors in order to convert electricity and/or thermal energy, offering a scalable, reversible, self-sufficient system.’

in contrast to its traditional photo-voltaic ‘dual-axis’ counterparts, the generator incorporates a fully rotational weatherproof natural optical tracking device that is adequate for functioning on inclined surfaces and curtain walls, empowering any building surface. the new solar generating concept even has the capability to concentrate diffused daylight or moonlight for a more effective site context application. on a cloudy day, the device produces 4 times more energy than a conventional PV system.

the unit comes with a modular collector system that charges and stores energy both night and day. by reducing the silicon cell area to 25% with a transparent liquid filled sphere point focusing concentrator, the collector module can be expanded with a stirling engine to generate surplus electricity.
