Applications and Advantages

Applications

Everyone knows about the potential of solar energy. With worldwide fossil fuel supplies shrinking and the increasing evidence of global warming, architects, homeowners, developers and building owners of all types are looking for alternatives to conventional heating and cooling systems. Energy Star, Zero Energy Homes, Green Building, Leadership in Energy Efficient Design (LEEDS), Clean Power and Sustainability are increasing discussion topics around the table and in the press.

The solar product marketplace is loaded with bladder systems and myriads of glazed panel systems that can be added onto any roof or structure. By fusing solar energy and architecture, Dawn Solar Systems® Inc. is on the leading edge of a paradigm shift in the industry with its suite of products that can be seamlessly integrated into a building's architectural design. It is the first commercialized multi-modal, solar thermal collection system that can be externally integrated into a building to produce clean power; power that is renewable, sustainable and socially responsible in every way. All without compromise to the aesthetics of the building. The heating or cooling (multimodal) effects of the Dawn Solar System® decrease the building's overall energy requirements, thus reducing global demands for fossil fuels and electricity and reducing a building's operating costs.

The Dawn Solar System® (Patent Pending) uses the heat generated by the sun shining onto a building's wall or roof system. Installed during new construction, renovation or a re-roofing process, the system collects the sun's energy as heat, which is then conducted by the roof or siding material into our proprietary thermal collection system. Depending upon location and application design, an open or closed loop system can be created as fluids (air or water) are pumped through the system and cycled through conventional heat transfer and distribution systems. In warmer climates, as a Dawn Solar System® collects solar energy as heat, it simultaneously reduces the heat load on attic spaces and reduces cooling costs.

Single family, multifamily and institutional hot water heating, commercial and industrial process water heating and cooling systems, radiant floor heating systems, swimming pool heaters and warm air heating systems are all applications that can be fired by the sun with low operating costs using the Dawn Solar System® Patent Pending technology.
