Exciting Collaboration: TIPA Tech has been accepted in Innovate UK Scaleup Programme #innovateuk #scaleup #tipatech #businessgrowth #sustainability #ecofriendly #innovation #entrepreneurship #technology #greenbusiness #sustainablepackaging #cleantech #venturecapital

Hey @Kickstarter, why are you letting this physically impossible project use your platform? No prototype, a video full of computer generated images and wrong physics! #TIPATech will never deliver the claimed efficiency. Please take this down before the backers loose their money.

I recommend to not give anyone money who makes claims about solar efficiencies that are not independently tested by a certified lab. There are great solar certification laboratories that offer independent tests. #TIPATech could get such a test done but they have chosen not to.

TIPA Tech will not be able to deliver the efficiency gains they promise. The basic assumptions behind their design are wrong. Please do not give them money. If you have already given them money you can withdraw until the end of the campaign which is in a couple of days. #TIPATech

When we correct TIPA's claims with the real reflection amount of 5%. We can quickly see that the 2nd and 3rd solar cells barely receive any reflected light. This design will not be more efficient than a regular solar panel. Certainly not 3x as efficient. #TIPATech

The main loss mechanism in solar panels is called thermalisation, that means the sun light is absorbed in the solar module but can not be turned into electricity and instead turns into thermal energy and heats up the solar panel. TIPA does not address thermalisation. #TIPATech

TIPA claims that the energy that solar panels do not use is lost via reflection and that their system could use that reflection. But reflection is actually only a minor loss mechanism in solar panels. Only about 5% of the light is reflected. Not 80% like TIPA claims. #TIPATech

TIPA's starting point is that current solar panels have an efficiency of around 20%. That means they use 20% of the energy that is contained in the sun light. This is actually a very high number, photosynthesis in plants only has an efficiency of 1% to 8%. #TIPATech

Problem is, TIPA's claims are physically impossible. They will never be able to actually build a module with the 60% efficiency they promise. Let me explain why: #TIPATech #SolarEnergy #SolarPower

Recently, I came across a prime example of such a physically impossible solar concept: TIPA - Tech. They are currently collecting money on @Kickstarter for a solar module they claim will be 3x more efficient than the current state of the art solar modules. #TIPATech

We Are Live! We are so excited to bring TIPA to Kickstarter, we love all the support we have already gotten. Support by backing us! #tipa #tipatech #solarpower #climatechange #kickstarter #crowdfunding #kickstartercampaign #kickstarterproject #liveonkickstarter #producthunt

We are so impressed about all the innovative products at #Aquatech 2021! Make sure to stop by their stand: Bio Blok Denmark, Vortex Flow Controls, MixRite -TEFEN, @TipATech, @EtatronGB, RO Reverse Osmosis - Rielli and GKD
