Towson, Maryland, August 22, 2008- The ElectraWall TM (Status: US Patent Pending) Autonomous Power System is a light harvesting electrical generator and accumulator providing on-demand power. The system is designed to demonstrate the methodology and application of a low cost, zero carbon footprint, renewable, green, Prime Energy Source.
The ElectraWallTM System is designed to provide a realistic hardware platform which makes use of pre-existing infrastructure. It is capable of revolutionizing the US power grid, enabling an Independent Power Producer (IPP) to generate electricity and rout the excess into the electric utility grid. The System is capable of collecting and storing energy from various outdoor locations, such as rooftops, highway infrastructures, light poles, decks, and fences. It can also be used as a back-up generator for institutions, business buildings, and residential communities.
The ElectraWallTM System allows our customers to reduce (watt shave) the electricity purchased from the utility company or completely remove their business/home, facility, etc. from the electrical grid, reducing carbon footprints while drastically reducing electric bills or selling electricity back to the utility company. In addition, ElectraWall customers will receive credit on their electric bills for returning energy to the grid.
The ElectraWallTM System is different than any other photovoltaic system available today. The patented cylindrical design of the system takes advantage of global sunlight and is not dependent on the sun’s angle of incidence and therefore does not require direct sunlight to function. ElectraWall devices will never have to be motorized to “follow the sun.â€
The ElectraWallTM System is also extremely efficient, even when the sun is NOT shining! ElectraWallTM generates electricity day or night, rain or shine. Even the headlights from a car will activate the system, which makes it very plausible for installations on the nation’s highway barrier walls.
ElectraWallTM is very user friendly. It will be sold and/or leased with a conductor track. The track will be mounted onto the desired surface, acting as the electrical “micro-grid, or watt field,†and the ElectraWall TM devices simply clip into slots on the track and become both mechanically and electrically connected. In some cases, ElectraWallTM does not need a track. For instance, ElectraWallTM units can clip directly onto a light pole or hand railing.
We anticipate making ElectraWallTM available to the public by late 2008/early 2009 and pricing will be at cost or lower than current kW/H prices.
