The beauty of HyperSolar's technology is that their film uses photonics and filters out the unused parts of the light spectrum to avoid overheating. No need for adding in coolant systems because the photonic layer from HyperSolar does the cooling already through filtering through only the used spectrum of light for absorption...

The heated liquid is used to provide hot water and heat. solar concentrators have been around as long as solar panels have been around. the advantage is that the concentrators are relitively cheap compared with the solar cells themselves. the problem is the heat. concentrators burn out delicate solar cells. it’s like starting a fire with a magnifying glass.
