They are combination, or hybrid solutions, made up of two or more of the systems listed below, in order to better manage “energy demand,” reduce energy consumption, and/or produce clean renewable energy, lowering energy costs and carbon emissions.

Energy Reduction Solutions

• Energy Demand Management lowers peak demands or avoids unnecessary “peak demand” charges by 10% to 30%.
• Cool Roofs reflect sunlight and heat, reducing roof temperatures as much as 30-70 degrees, thereby reducing cooling loads upwards of 20%.
• Daylighting with prismatic skylights and light tubes provide immediate savings on daytime lighting costs by allowing maximum light transmission and optimal light distribution.
• Solar Thermal collectors heat liquid circulating in a copper tube. This liquid then releases heat to a storage unit for hot water generation.

Energy Production Solutions

• Solar Photovoltaics (PV) solar modules offer a superior conversion rate of capturing the energy from the sun and converting it into electricity.
• Solar Thin-Film Cylindrical Modules provide an ideal system for flat roof commercial buildings, require no roof penetrations, are lightweight, and usually have a higher electricity output than conventional PV systems.
• SolarPorts such as Carports, ShadeWays®, Pergolas can be installed when roof space is inadequate for a solar solution. Parking lots, walkways, and open spaces can be covered with energy-generating solar systems.

• Building Integrated PV (PV) roof laminates and PV shingles features a low profile that provides superior wind resistance and durability and can also provide a more architecturally integrated appearance.
