The basic principle is near to one that many of us can relate to; that of burning objects with a magnifying glass. The solar panels are equipped with motorised lenses that collect solar light, which is then concentrated into one intense delivery point per lens, and this solar light is projected into a fibre optic cable. These cables are conducted into a building and the solar light is emitted through solar light fittings - either fittings with only solar light or hybrid fittings with a mix of artificial and solar light.

The motorised, and bi-directional lenses - 64 per solar panel - are coordinated by an inbuilt microcomputer providing for active solar tracking, thereby optimising solar light collection over the 24-hour cycle and over the 12-month cycle respectively.

The panel needs no specific location pre- programming to operate. When it is first installed, it performs a boot-up sequence, lasting approx 10 minutes, during which time it autonomously stores information about the solar path & conditions of the specific location where it has been installed.

Once it focuses, it locks permanently and follows the sun. The last thing the panel does, when the solar light is gone for that day, it 'goes to bed' positioning itself where it 'knows' it will collect the first sun rays the next morning.

You may choose fittings, which are either pure solar light fittings, or Hybrids combining solar light and artificial light. An automatic sensor provides for a seamless transition between the two systems, eg artificial light is automatically stepped up to a value that you may preset as daylight fades and vice versa.
