The system is proven in both residential and commercial applications and uses 30 watts of electrical power. Energy is sourced from roof mounted solar thermal modules (flat panel or evacuated tube) during the day and is stored with regulated release. By storing the solar energy generated during the daytime hours, the system is able to provide full allocation of cooling and/or heating day or night. A majority of commercial buildings approach 50% power from air-conditioning demand. Such a reduction in electrical demand will have an effect on infrastructure cost for electrical utilities and will assist a great deal in achieving carbon reduction targets. Besides reducing the peak demand and carbon emissions, cutting electrical bills by 50% provides incentive for building owners. Predictably, utilities have purchased all product to date to address peak demand situations. Solar air-conditioning/heating systems have been recently introduced to Australia that reduce peak demand.
