U.K, South Korea and the USA.
Millennium's plans to expand its PV panel
production capacity up to 56MW by year end
2008.
The growth of the international PV solar market
is mainly a result of grid-connected solar PV
programs in a number of countries around the
world: The "Sunshine Program" in Japan
where the capital subsidy started in 1994, but
Germany's Renewable Energy Law – EEG
(since January 2004) was the main reason for
the boom in PV projects and funds. Spain, Italy,
South Korea, Greece and mainly the USA have
come up with attractive Feed-In tariffs
guaranteed for solar photovoltaic power. Signing the $15M USD contract with

Millennium’s Unique Technology


2. Production and sale of Multi Solar (MSS) PVT Systems and Collectors

The Multi Solar PV/T technology is an


innovative, patented (PATENT NO 5522944)
Solar PV/Thermal System that makes it
possible to convert solar energy into
thermal energy and electric energy at the
same time using a single integrated system.
The Multi Solar System, an innovative device
that collects the visible & infra-red side of the
spectrum, cools the PV cells which generate
electricity and makes the heat available for
thermal control of the building. The MSS
behaves like a "living" skin surrounding the
building, allowing the flow of water/air,
capturing heat and storing it in an insulated
tank, thus making it available for the heat
control of the living environment while the PV
cells that are cooled by water flow in pipes and
air, generates 30% higher PV efficiency
for production of electricity and 70%
additional thermal energy for the same price.

Advantages of the Multi Solar PV/T technology:

The Multi Solar PV/T is one of the most promising technologies in the solar energy industry
and it has many advantages over the use of separate solar thermal and solar photovoltaic
systems available today.
The Multi Solar (MSS) Collector
À Integral cooling system: Enables 30%, PV
annual efficiency enhancement;
À High electricity production: Utilizes a “sun
trap” by using low iron double glazing polarized
one-way mirror glass on the PVT collector;
À Better use of the Light Spectrum: Using IR
wavelength for thermal energy and the Visible
Light wavelength for electricity;
À Savings in framing costs, hard glass
lamination costs, construction costs and
rooftop area costs.
MSS: The most efficient solar collector in the
world
MSS is a built in Multi Solar System with the highest
utilization that exists today:
85% (15% electricity, 35% hot water, 35% hot air).
The thermal energy can be converted into electrical
energy by the use of Thermal turbo generator and gain
additional 15% of electrical energy.

The Multi Solar System has been developed with a very


6
innovative and unique feature. Beyond flat plate hot water panels, special double glass PV
panels have been developed; the air/water fluid flows within the two water/air pipe channels,
capturing the infrared radiation, but allowing the visible spectrum to flow through, lighting the
interior environment. In this way, the same window can become an active element capable of
providing electricity beyond lighting and heat control.

The Multi Solar System works with circulating air, and it is fitted with automatic valves for
interior ventilation with filtered and humidified air using small fans. It is integrated in the outer
shell of the building and produces zero oxide or dust emission.

3. Planning, Construction and Maintenance of Solar PV Power Stations
(Turn-key projects) for Supplying Electricity Using Solar Energy

Central Solar Power Stations applications use solar


energy in the same configuration that a utility would
utilize a major power station.
Feed-in-tariff programs (selling electricity to grid-
connected systems) are the engine of the PV industry.
Such programs that exist today in Germany, Spain,
Italy, USA (mainly California and NJ), South Korea and
other countries, promote mass construction of Solar
Power stations.
Millennium earns twice with such projects: Once for the Solar Power stations in
construction (in turn-key projects) and second, as an the Mojave desert
electricity provider to the grid.
Millennium plans the construction of Solar Power Stations in the range of 40MWp (€200M Euro)
during the years of 2007 – 2009:
• 1MWp Solar PV power station in Southern Italy
• Many PV stations of 50kWp each around Italy
• 20MWp MSS (using our unique solar technology) power station in South
Korea
• 10MWp (minimum) solar PV power station in the Canary Islands, Spain
(totaling 65MWp)
• 5MWp solar PV power stations in Greece
• 10MWp solar power stations in the USA

Millennium signs a major Joint Venture


agreement for the establishment of a
7MWp Solar Power station in 1,000 kW, grid-connected PV system in
Germany Bazilikata, Southern Italy to be
completed by end 2007
4. Planning, Production and sale of Various Solar PV Applications for
Infrastructures, Lighting and more.

Industrial Applications
For many years, solar energy has been the power supply of choice for industrial applications,
where power is required at remote locations. These solar powered applications are economical,
even without subsidies. Most systems for individual uses require a few kilowatts of power.
Examples are powering repeater stations for microwave, TV and radio, telemetry and radio
telephones.

Solar Home Systems (SHS) in the Developing


World
Apart from off-grid homes, other remote buildings such as
schools, community halls, and clinics can all benefit from
electrification with solar energy. This can power TV, video,
telephony and a range of refrigeration equipment, which is
available to meet World Health Organization standards for
vaccine refrigeration, for instance.

Building Integrated PV (BIPV)
A BIPV system operates as a multi-functional building
construction material; it generates energy as well as serves
as part of the building envelope. On an office building, atria
can be covered with glass/glass PV modules, which can be
semi-transparent to provide shaded light. On a factory,
large roof areas have been the best location for solar
modules. If they are flat, then arrays can be mounted using
techniques that do not breach the weatherproof roof
membrane. Building Integrated (BIPV)

Solar Powered Military Devices Design Services


Power independent, maintenance free, robust, user friendly,
easy operation: all enabled by solar powered military
devices. Photovoltaic powered military systems:
transmission, signaling and control devices.
Solar Lighting
Solar PV Foldable Panels
Light Emitted Diodes (LED) based light system represents a
new step forward for solar lighting. The LED system used never
needs replacement resulting in the most reliable solar light
system on the market and results in the lowest maintenance cost
of any solar light system.
Its unique design appearance is both functional and attractive. By
using long life LED technology (expected life 100,000 hrs or over
25 years of normal use), the Light fitting will last the life of the
system and you will never be a need to change a bulb.
