Building/Residential Technologies

An in-floor energy harvesting solution for commercial properties that captures multiple forms of energy through PV and electromagnetic generation, featuring remote monitoring. The tiles have both indoor and outdoor functionality, but are optimized for operation in parking lots.

The IQ System is a fully-integrated 10 kWh battery, 7.6 kW solar inverter and advanced energy monitoring and management platform that maximizes backup power availability, solar self-supply and home energy efficiency.

Advanced solar energy harvesting using optical enhancement technologies, directional high-brightness lighting panels employing LEDs and OLEDs, and novel materials and systems for harvesting daylight using windows and skylights

VIG is a flat, transparent insulator that dramatically reduces window heat loss. Two panes of glass, separated by tiny spacers, are sealed around the edges. Vacuum between the panes eliminates conduction and convection heat loss. A Low E coating on one pane cuts radiation heat loss.

Project to extend the function of windows by turning them into daytime sources of electricity. The target market for this technology is tall buildings in urban areas, where electricity demand is the highest and the available space for installing solar cells is smallest. This technology utilizes a window tint that can absorb sunlight and remit light of a certain color through the window's glass to small solar cells located at the edges. This technology hasn't been commercialized previously because most tint materials typically absorb their own emitted light, limiting efficiency.
