About us

Calores is a technology company that develops and manufactures high-efficiency hybrid PVT modules and designs integrated RES systems for buildings and district heating networks. The foundation of our business is complete know-how in the field of PVT technology – from material engineering and production processes, to system integration and operational implementation in real-world operating conditions.

Intellectual Property and Base Patent

The core of our advantage is intellectual property, which includes key elements of PVT construction and technology. The development of the modules is based on patented solutions, including the MKP-2022/246 patent for the innovative “omega” PVT absorber, which is the basic IP enabling the production of hybrid modules by Calores.

Technological advantage

Calores combines material engineering, manufacturing processes and system integration in a single model of PVT technology development.

Own IP and patents

The development of the modules is based on intellectual property, including the MKP-2022/246 patent on the “omega” absorber.

Rozwój modułów opieramy na własności intelektualnej, w tym patencie MKP-2022/246 dotyczącym absorbera „omega”.

Advanced production

The development of the modules is based on intellectual property, including the MKP-2022/246 patent on the “omega” absorber.

Portfolio of knowledge and patents

Photothermal collector with increased efficiency
U type absorber vacuum collectors with optically selective coatings
Method for producing PVD coatings on the surface of structural steel after plasma nitriding
Selective coatings on solar collector absorbers
Solar collector absorbers with selective coatings on wings and absorber pipes

In parallel, we developed practical know-how based on real demonstrators – including heating systems, in which PVT is the main source of energy supplying heat pumps. Operational experience, real-world testing and long-term monitoring of systems allow us to design scalable, durable and technically optimized solutions.

Scientific facilities and the role of prof. Ilija Nasov

Calores combines patent ownership, unique manufacturing processes, material competence and system integration into a single operating model. We are not only an integrator of components – we develop and have key technologies enabling the construction of efficient, industrially scalable next-generation PVT systems, which are the foundation of second-generation renewable energy.

Since 2003 prof. Nasov develops flat and vacuum solar collectors with an efficiency exceeding 84% and long-term stability over 10 years, based on proprietary absorber technologies. In 2019, he developed a hybrid PVT collector for simultaneous generation of electricity and heat.

These solutions are developed under the guidance of Prof. Dr. hab. Ilija Nasov — a scientist and inventor specializing in solar collector technology, surface engineering and advanced material coatings.

Advanced PVD processes

We use modern processes of deposition of thin layers, which increase durability and improve the operating parameters of elements in demanding conditions.

Plasma technologies

We use plasma nitriding and barrier coatings to increase the resistance of materials to wear, temperature and corrosion.

Selective coatings

We create optically selective coatings with high durability, optimized for maximum energy absorption efficiency.

Our proprietary method of welding “omega” absorbers improves heat transfer and increases the stability of the entire structure.

PVT modules without restrictions

We have developed solutions that allow the use of PVT modules in standard dimensions of PV panels – without format restrictions.

EU research and development projects and programmes

The development of these technologies was supported by a wide range of research and development facilities and participation in international EU projects (FP7, Horizon 2020, ENSNARE, Eureka projects). Know-how also includes the results of projects such as POLYSOL (PVD technologies), DIBBIOPACK (plasma barrier technologies), COMPOSOL (PVD coatings with the highest reflection on glass) or SOLEGLASS (optically selective coatings for pipe collectors).
