Case Study: Skyven Technologies achieves higher solar efficiency with Protolabs manufacturing support

Skyven Technologies' co-generating solar panel system offers an efficient way to generate electricity and heat water

Skyven Technologies, a start-up developing a highly efficient solar panel system, needed to manufacture mechanical and optical components for its innovative prototype. They leveraged a service grant from Protolabs to produce these parts using injection molding, CNC machining, and metal stamping services.

Utilizing Protolabs' interactive quoting and rapid manufacturing services, Skyven was able to iterate its design efficiently, moving from 3D-printed prototypes to commercially manufactured parts. This support was crucial for developing their system, which achieves 70% total combined efficiency for generating electricity and heat, leading to a 20% reduction in electricity costs and a 40% reduction in heating costs compared to traditional technology.
