Synergy between building and mobility
Heat as a by-product of power generation
At the international trade fair BAU 2009, the solar technology company
SYSTAIC, for the first time, is showcasing an energy roof system that will
completely cover a households annual heat and electricity requirements.
The waste heat that is produced during power production is utilized and
recycled via a heat pump to generate heat and hot water. Another new and
unique feature is the integration of solar mobility an annual mileage of
10,000 km is achieved through solar power.
systaic AG, a solar technology company headquartered in Düsseldorf, has
been specializing in efficient and aesthetic solar power solutions for
years. Together with its subsidiary Webasto Solar, a joint venture with
Webasto AG, SYSTAIC is the only company in the world to produce
photovoltaic modules for car roofs as standard. In addition to solar roof
for cars, SYSTAICs best-known product is the awarded energy roof for
buildings. At the international trade fair BAU 2009, for the first time,
the two application areas are united into a complete system to suit all
living requirements.
The core connection of these two areas of life living and driving is
the rechargeable battery of the electric car. As it can be charged with any
excess electricity, the battery is able to provide power to the building in
case of a temporary shortage. This means that the car as a mobile storage
unit will take over functions that, so far, could only be provided by the
power network. This synergy between the SYSTAIC energy roof and the mobile
battery has some remarkable economic advantages. The number of SYSTAIC
energy units on a photovoltaic energy roof will match the size of the
household so that the annual cruising range of the electric car will
average 10,000 km.
Furthermore, the SYSTAIC energy roof, which has won many architectural
awards, will be extended by the function of photovoltaic heat generation:
In place of having separate heat collectors, the waste heat of the SYSTAIC
energy units will be directed into an optimized heat pump system that
generates energy for space heating and hot water. The air conditioning
needed in the summer comes as a practical by-product. On annual average, as
few as 33 SYSTAIC energy units are required to make a 2-person household
independent of heat from fossil energy sources, power from the network and,
if an electric car is integrated, they will also help to save fuel.
'Our new system is extremely profitable' explains Michael Pack, CEO of
systaic AG. 'Electric cars are available already today and will soon be
produced as standard, photovoltaic systems on car roofs are already a
reality a field in which SYSTAIC has unrivalled expertise. The same
applies to the area of rooftops: The amendment of the Electricity Feed Act
(EEG) in Germany that came into force at the beginning of January
stipulates that privately used solar power will pay about 25 euro cents per
kilowatt hour. This rate exceeds the feed-in tariff because power network
costs will also be saved. If electricity prices from the power network
continue to rise as is to be expected the total remuneration will
increase accordingly. This means that customers will be able to amortize
their investment in SYSTAIC solar solutions in the near future while
creating sustainable property assets at the same time.'
Another attractive feature of the new energy roof system is that the
consumer will be able to decide for himself whether he prefers to sell,
save or directly use his self-produced power at a given time. During the
holiday season, for example, he can simply switch to selling mode. This is
how energy management is optimized. Therefore SYSTAIC is building on the
accomplishments of its highly aesthetic energy roof. For the first time,
the company is also offering downstream system technology for consumption
control and energy storage. The SYSTAIC trade fair booth at Europes most
important specialist trade fair for architecture, materials and systems is
located in Hall B3, Booth 510.
