SunCentral envisions by 2020, in most commercial buildings in major cities in the world, electric lights are turned off and buildings are illuminated with sunlight whenever the sun shines, substantially reducing energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy security.
SunCentral will achieve this vision with its innovative and patented “Core Sunlighting System”, the first proven and practical way to illuminate spaces deep within multi-storey commercial buildings with sunlight. SunCentral’s technology is 7x more effective than current photovoltaic solar panels and it delivers sunlight to places inaccessible to light from windows and skylights.
When SunCentral's "Core Sunlighting System” becomes commercially available in 2013, it will offer commercial payback to customers within 3 – 9 years, depending on the local sunshine availability and cost of energy. SunCentral's "Core Sunlighting System" will also be economically viable without government subsidy, although we will qualify for numerous government energy efficiency subsidy programs.
