GenH is a Hydropower technology and project development company developing a fully modular and rapidly deployable system to electrify non-powered dams without construction. GenH’s market focus is on low head (<30ft) non-powered dams and irrigation heads of which there are ~100,000 heads in the US with a total capacity of ~12GW and inventories in Asia are in the low millions. The Adaptive Hydro System is a modular mass produced system that removes all construction from Hydroelectric installation and has no structural impact on the dam or environmental impact on the surrounding area or the river. This changes Hydro’s operational paradigms and constraints, allowing Adaptive Hydro System to produce stable (firm capacity) and very inexpensive (below $0.025/kWh) clean energy. The Adaptive Hydro System was designed specifically for rapid electrification. Adaptive Hydro’s modules can be installed in a month instead of the 2-4 years typical of Hydroelectric installation. Adaptive Hydro significantly reduces project risk both in the lead time and expense before a project goes active and in kWh output and sale volatility. The Systems output is stable for its lifetime, allowing it to leverage regulatory structures designed for Renewable Energy and Fossil Fuel, such as clean incentives or capacity payments.
Taka Solar produces integrated solar panel plus mounting solutions aimed at flat commercial roofs. Sales by solar installers to commercial building owners have been roughly flat for a decade, while the other sectors of the solar market have grown rapidly. Standard flat solar panels work well on homes and in the desert, but are not optimized for large flat roofs because they catch wind strongly. Installation is more expensive than the panels are, causing finished system costs to be too high for most building owners to justify. Taka’s aerodynamic panels don’t catch the wind, slashing the amount of mounting hardware required and speeding installation by 4 times. Those factors bring the cost of solar electricity below the utility so that installers can sell many more systems and the current $2B/year commercial solar market can grow rapidly to provide vast quantities of new clean energy.
InPipe Energy has developed an easy-to-install power generation system that has the potential to capture up to 12 GW of energy wasted in US Water distribution. The InPipe In-PRV TM integrates into existing water infrastructure and replicates industry standard pressure reduction equipment while generating significant carbon-free electricity at a fraction of the footprint and cost of alternate renewables.
This device keeps energy management in the thermal cycle rather than converting it into electric power and then back into a thermal cycle.
Infrastructure Inspection and Maintenance Through Aerial Robotics.
We're making solar energy more accessible by providing a lower cost and easy to install alternative to solar roofs / panels.
