UK - Carbon Trust et al. invest £2.7m in Whitfield Solar

The company has developed a solar concentrator launch product, which uses a fraction of the surface area of silicon solar cells that conventional Photo-Voltaic panels require, but delivers greater energy generation by tracking the sun's energy and concentrating it via an array of Fresnel lenses. Whitfield was founded in 2004.

The new funding will be used to expand the company's workforce and extend its sales strategy in both existing and emerging solar markets, including Portugal, Greece, Italy and Australia, with plans to have a commercially available product in China and India by the end of 2010.
