Amonix is the world leading designer and proprietary manufacturer of patented high-performance High Concentration Photovoltaic (HCPV) power generation systems for utility scale applications. Amonix is located in Torrance, California, just minutes from LAX and the Port of Los Angeles, with manufacturing facility in Seal Beach, CA.
The Amonix mission is to bring solar profitably to the main stream in the power generation market by offering renewable solar power at a fraction of the cost of traditional photovoltaic systems.
The Amonix product is a fully integrated two-axis tracking system that promises to lower the cost of solar electricity compared to conventional one-sun solar systems. Amonix’s concentrating solar technology uses multijunction solar cells leveraging the space industry's development of multijunction solar cells that are used in today's space satellites. Not only does this save money, but it also allows manufacturing to be ramped up quickly without tens of millions of dollars of investment.

Amonix’s HCPV system tracks the sun, capturing up to 30 – 40% more energy than fixed photovoltaic systems, and operates during periods of peak power demand. The company’s extensive field experience has produced a reliable 7th generation commercial system designed to meet or exceed stringent customer requirements for a minimum 20 year life span. These systems can be installed individually or can be readily combined to form multi-megawatt “power farms”.
Amonix’s 5th generation system has been extensively field-proven by Arizona Public Service Company, Arizona’s largest electric utility, and NV Energy which serves communities in Clark and Nye counties of Nevada.
The company's initial market focus is on the large power producers in the Southwestern United States. In these areas there is a high level of direct sunlight that maximizes the cost advantages of the Amonix system. In addition, the state utilities in this area have mandated a minimum requirement for renewable energy including solar as part of their Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) energy portfolios..
Amonix has continually implemented design improvements over generations of its product and its current seventh generation product offers a significant reduction of manufacturing cost without impacting system reliability or performance.
The rigorous field experience Amonix has gained, along with several patents and intellectual property rights, has positioned the company as the undisputed leader in the high concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) arena.
