Transcript of Power Panel for Green Lantern
Solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity
One panel … both PV & Thermal
Solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity
Photovoltaic (PV Electrical) underperforms due to heat …
Power Panel cools the PV module by removing heat with water and
using it for domestic hot water, heating and adsorption chilling.
Limited roof space ...
Power Panel provides both electricity and solar heat from the same
panel, saving roof space, time and money
Existing solar panels are fragile and difficult …
Through material and process innovation Power Panel is able to make
durable, simple and easy to install renewable technologies.
Solar Technology Opportunity
Solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity
Untapped Opportunity: Thermal
Space Heating 59%
Water Heating 18%
Appliances 15%
Lighting 5%
Space Cooling 2%
Residential Energy Use:
Home energy use
is up to 80% thermal!59%
18%
2%
And ~18% of home energy is for hot water alone.
A great opportunity to use the sun for not only our electrical, but also thermal energy needs. Power Panel
does both!
Solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity
Solution - PV & Thermal together• Power Panel produces both Thermal and PV
• Uniform rooftops – choice of color – better aesthetics
• New construction or retrofits
15 ft
28 ft
30 panels : 420 sq ft
Output : 1.2 kW electrical
+ 15 kW thermal
Solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity
Improved materials & form factor• Maximizes southern facing rooftop solar capture with better form factor
• Increases PV Output with active cooling
• Eliminates corrosion – simpler, automated production
