Photensity is an energy-dense solar module which delivers three energy streams – photovoltaic, solar thermal, and daylighting – via one compact module. By combining three energy streams, the product can deliver up to 60% of the sun’s energy in forms useful for large buildings.
Energy from the Photensity system reportedly supplements the building’s electricity, hot water and space heating systems while significantly reducing the amount of power required for interior lights. A planned fourth energy stream in a future module version will incorporate a heat driven cooling device for supplementing building cooling systems.
Scott Frazier, CEO of BrightPhase, said: The BrightPhase team is pleased to be working with Appalachian Energy on this beta deployment agreement. The beta testing phase is an important step in our ongoing Photensity commercialization process. We are confident that this beta implementation will prove highly beneficial for Appalachian, its customer, and BrightPhase.
