Hawaii’s electricity prices average nearly three times the national average, while California’s electricity prices are nearly twice the national average. Almost all utilities in the U.S. suffer costly peak power generation, which occurs during the sunniest part of the day. SolarPoint™ Lighting displaces electricity used for lighting (40 percent of average electricity use) when electricity is at its most expensive to generate. Likewise, SolarPoint™ Power optimally generates electricity during the utility’s peak power demand period, creating significant cost savings.
The “utility-scale” distinction is no longer solely attributable to solar farm-based installations. Now, utility-scale power generation can be achieved from clusters of distributed solar modules connected directly to the nearest neighborhood circuit, eliminating the need to build transmission lines to bring the power to customers.
Given its high power-to-square foot ratio and easy installation, Sunlight Direct’s distributed SolarPoint™ Power system is a cost-effective and scalable solution to meet the utility’s large (and growing) renewable power generation requirements.
