AUREUS: AURORA RENEWABLE ENERGY & UV SEQUESTRATION
The AuREUS system is an evolution for walls/windows, and uses technology synthesized from upcycled crop waste to absorb stray UV light from sunlight and convert it to clean renewable electricity.

Montreal Convention Center. Conversion to AuREUS tech will unlock additional 18kW power asset.

WHAT IT DOES
IT champions the issues of UV sequestration, better access to solar energy for climate change mitigation and supporting the local agriculture industry hit by calamities by upcycling crops that would otherwise be considered wastes thus, mitigating farmer loss.

YOUR INSPIRATION
1 Excess UV exposure in urban areas are being induced by glass buildings. The inspiration for the solution came from how Auroras were made. High energy(gamma, UV) are degraded to low energy state (visible light) by luminescent particles in the atmosphere. The tech is based on this concept and used similar functioning particles. 2 Solar Farms are built horizontally and never vertically, until now. Since AuREUS captures UV, it can produce electricity even when not facing the sun. Buildings clad on all sides with AuREUS become vertical solar farms. 3 Crops easily spoil and cause losses to farmers. With this tech, wastes can now be upcycled.

HOW IT WORKS
Both AuREUS devices (Borealis Solar Window and Astralis Solar Wall) uses the same technology derived from the phenomena that governs the beautiful Northern and Southern lights. High energy particles are absorbed by luminescent particles that re-emit them as visible light. Similar type of luminescent particles (derivable from certain fruits and vegetables) were suspended in a resin substrate and is used as the core technology on both devices. When hit by UV light, the particles absorb and re-emit visible light along the edges due to internal reflectance. PV cells are placed along the edges to capture the visible light emitted. The captured visible light are then converted to DC electricity. Regulating circuits will process the voltage output to allow battery charging, storage, or direct utilization of electricity.

DESIGN PROCESS
The idea evolved from continuous pivots and iteration from the simple idea of wanting to capture UV light to better the solar technology industry and contribute to creating a sustainable and regenerative environment. Conventional PV cells lack the capability to capture high energy UV light. Creating better materials with such capability has been the journey for 2017 but led to failure. A workaround has been found after taking inspiration from the beautiful Aurora lights. Instead to directly converting UV to electricity, it can instead be degraded first to visible light (solar wind radiation to aurora lights) then later capture the photons instead using conventional PV cells. A candidate to mediate the light degradation principle is the use of Quantum dots. Come 2018, quantum dot technology has been researched but proved to be costly and would take along time to be market ready. By chance, in a dark pub inspiration was drawn from glowing neon plates when exposed to blacklight. 2019 ended with a full academic thesis and several prototypes proving that the concept is feasible. 2020, the possibility of using local fruits and vegetable dyes as key particles for enabling the technology has been focused on. Currently 78 types of local crops has been tested and 9 showed high potential.

HOW IT IS DIFFERENT
[VS Quantum Dot Solar Windows:] AuREUS used cheaper materials and as of 2019 has been applied and tested for mech and acoustic properties for building settings. In terms of application, AuREUS has been constantly leading. [VS Solar Panels:] AuREUS can function even when not directly facing the sun, it can rely on UV scattering through clouds and by UV light bouncing along walls, pavements, other buildings. This will enable the construction of a Vertical Solar Farm even with a small lot area. This is highly applicable for skyscrapers in urban settings allowing access to clean renewable electricity. [VS Commercial Grade Windows:] glass cladding used in buildings use special films that reflect UV away from the building. This causes induced UV exposure to people outside. AuREUS absorbs UV light instead, protecting people both indoors and outdoors. [VS Crop Waste Disposal:] AuREUS upcycles fruit and vegetable scraps giving life to materials considered as trash.

FUTURE PLANS
R&D: Additional research will be done on extracting needed luminescent particles to allow 100% (from the current 80%) sourcing of dyes from fruits and vegetables instead of chemical ones. Currently, among the 5 colors used (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Blue) a stable alternative to the blue dye has not been successfully made yet. Success in this area will bring sustainability to a full circle. Manufacturing: Currently AuREUS is standing at a 30 panel/mo. production. Additional funding can allow the creation of a team and facility that can increase current capacity Future: Advances in forming for chassis in solar powered transport.

AWARDS

Largest solar project in US history announced 1.3GW 3YEAR BUILD
600 build jobs
power 300,000 homes
Chicago-based Invenergy will invest more than 1 billion in a new solar energy site.
Invenergy has announced plans to construct the largest solar power plant in the country, with companies like Google and McDonald’s as customers.
The project is expected to finish by 2023.
The largest solar power project is slated to be developed as a means to provide clean energy to large companies like telecommunications conglomerate AT&T and fast-food chain McDonald’s in a billion dollar project headquartered in northeastern Texas.

The Chicago-based company Invenergy will construct the site, which is designed to have 1,310-megawatts of solar and wind capacity by 2023, will be constructed in five phases, according to the press release. The facility will be dubbed the Samson Solar Energy Center and has already attracted partnerships with other powerhouse names including Google, The Home Depot and Honda.

..

"At AT&T, we believe renewable energy is good for the planet, for our business, and for the communities we serve," said Scott Mair, president of AT&T Technology & Operations. "With more than 1.5 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity, our portfolio delivers clean electricity to the grid, helps to create jobs and community benefits, and supports the transition to a low-carbon economy. We’re excited to participate in Invenergy’s Samson project through the largest corporate solar energy deal in the U.S."

Other local municipalities in Texas will also partner with Invenergy to implement clean energy into cities of Bryan, Denton and Garland.

The project is also expected to create about 600 jobs during the 36-month construction time, as well as bring more than $250 million in landowner payments and $200 million in property tax. When the project is completed, it will produce enough energy to power approximately 300,000 homes.

"Invenergy continues to lead the energy transition, and this record-setting project demonstrates our expertise at a new scale," Invenergy’s Senior Vice President of Origination Ted Romaine, said in prepared comments.

This is good news for the clean energy field, which has been one of the industries adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. With downward trending sales of installments like solar panels due to the coronavirus-induced recession, clean energy saw the loss of around 27,000 jobs in May.

With President-elect Joe Biden set to take office in January, U.S. policy is poised to prioritize sustainability efforts, as the former vice president nominated John Kerry as a special climate envoy to help tackle climate change and pledged to recommit the U.S. to the Paris Climate Accord.
