EnFocus Engineering Introduces Its Diamond-Power™ Hybrid "Daylighter" and Power Panel for Significant Electricity Offload from the Grid in Commercial Buildings during Day Time
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- EnFocus Engineering, a 2011 Cleantech Open semifinalist in Green Building and winner of the 2007 Solar America Initiative Award from the US Department of Energy, announced its successful launch of Diamond-Power™, a hybrid "daylighter" and solar power panel, at the Intersolar North America Exhibit in San Francisco.
As the first product in the world that separates the soft component of sunlight to make daylighting dependable, uniform and lasting, it allows occupants to enjoy soft ambient light in perfect color rendering without the use of electricity. At the same time, it converts the harsh direct component of sunlight into power using solar cells with efficiencies exceeding 40%, while also reducing the heat load on the building. The combined power generation with cool daylighting offloads as much as 50% of the electricity from the grid in the daytime, at zero emissions, using merely 5% of the roof space. By attacking the energy equation from both sides it allows for a 5 year payback even without any government incentive.
Visitors were openly expressing their amazement with comments like "Wow…!" and "…it's the most beautiful product…".
"I want to complement on your elegant use of this wasted opportunity (diffused sunlight) as a perfect solution to lighting problems," as commented by an engineer and inventor having worked on CPV technologies.
"We want to offer an effective, as well as complementary, technology to PV panels by using limited real estate on the roof to offload from the grid at a significantly lower cost in comparison to grid power, all while enhancing the human experience at the workplace with premium daylighting," emphasized Dr. Jason Lu, Founder and President of EnFocus Engineering.
"… I loved your solution …," agreed an engineer working at a major high efficiency PV company.
