Hybrid photovoltaic and lighting system
Purpose
The contractor, Oak Ridge National Laboratories, will demonstrate the technical feasibility of a novel solar concentrator that splits the solar spectrum, illuminating building interiors using the visible portion and generating electricity from the infrared portion. (Project 4.3)
Potential benefit
A doubling of overall solar conversion efficiency, with combined generation and lighting displacement efficiency exceeding 70 percent.
Scope of work
- Address building code and permitting issues in a commercial setting.
- Develop a systems-level building integration strategy.
