Direct Beam Technology

new generation of high-efficiency solar collectors

Innovative solar solution

Transforming energy with efficiency

Direct Beam Technology is developing a new generation of high-efficiency solar collectors using eco-friendly nanofluid. We aim to make solar thermal energy more effective and accessible, especially in regions with low solar irradiation. Our team has expertise in product development, commercialization, and renewable energy. We are currently testing prototypes in real-world conditions and working with highly motivated customers looking to transition to solar heating solutions.

Technology behind the product

How it works

In Direct Absorption Solar Collectors (DASCs), solar radiation is absorbed directly by a nanofluid—an aqueous suspension of nanoparticles. If the nanofluid is semi-transparent, the entire fluid volume captures sunlight, ensuring even heat distribution. This keeps the collector’s surface cooler, reducing heat loss to the environment and achieving higher thermal efficiency compared to traditional surface-absorption solar collectors.

Benefits for consumers

How We Compare to Competitors

Higher Efficiency

Our nano-fluid technology improves heat transfer, minimizing losses.
Better Suitability for Low-Sun Regions

Standard collectors lose efficiency in cloudy conditions, while our technology maintains performance.
Faster ROI for Customers

Improved efficiency and affordability result in a quicker return on investment compared to conventional solutions.

Begining

Our story

Our journey began in 2018 with research on Direct Absorption Solar Collectors at Høgskulen på Vestlandet (HVL). After years of development and testing, we secured the rights to commercialize the technology in 2024. With support from Innovasjon Norge and VIS, we are now bringing this innovation to the market.

At Direct Beam Technology, we aim to make solar thermal energy more efficient and accessible. We value innovation, sustainability, and practical solutions that accelerate the transition to clean energy.
