Schaad LLC, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Department of Energy and the Oak Ridge Labs to field-test two pairs of energy saving residences.
ZEBRAlliance aims to spotlight energy conservation efforts that can reduce the load on the existing electrical grid and curb dependence on non- renewable energy sources. Energy use, lighting quality and maintenance requirements will be monitored for two years. Data from the house outfitted with Seoul Semiconductor’s Acriche LEDs will be compared against that of a house using compact fluorescent lights, and the results will help buildings, lighting designers and homeowners make energy-saving lighting decisions.
Because Seoul Semiconductor’s unique Acriche LEDs do not use electronics to convert AC line voltage into DC, as do most other solid state lighting devices, they are a more energy- and cost-efficient lighting product than other LED options.
LEDs outlast conventional light bulbs – providing more than five times the light for each watt consumed when compared with a typical incandescent light for an energy savings of 75 percent to 80 percent. In addition, the color qualities of LEDs are more exact than those of traditional bulbs.
“Seoul Semiconductor is proud to support ZEBRAlliance’s effort to boost the energy efficiency of residential lighting through our working partner, Molex,” Doug Hardman, Seoul Semiconductor’s North American strategic marketing director, said. “This project will help raise awareness about LEDs and their ability to provide energy-saving, cost- efficient, and longer lasting lighting solutions than homeowners currently use.”
Radiant to Distribute Ascent Solar Modules in China
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a developer of flexible thin-film solar modules, have announced that Radiant Holding Limited will begin distribution of Ascent Solar’s lightweight, flexible, high-power thin-film CIGS modules for building integrated (BIPV), automotive and portable power solutions in China.
The agreement with Radiant gives Ascent Solar access to multiple market segments in China’s emerging solar market including direct integration into Radiant’s line of building materials for residential and commercial solutions. Radiant plans to install Ascent modules on its metal roofing demonstration site immediately in order to demonstrate the unique characteristics of Ascent Solar’s flexible, lightweight CIGS modules to its customers.
Ascent Solar President and CEO Farhad Moghadam stated, “We are pleased to announce our agreement with Radiant. This relationship will give us access to a very large and rapidly growing market for BIPV applications in China.
