Automated solar panel cleaning

Feynman innovation has designed a semi-automatic and water-free cleaning robot for solar panels. Having a solar panel with connected batteries of its own, the robot is energy independent. To allow for a versatile and broad usage, the solution has a slim and light design and has a suspension system to be able to handle uneven ground. It is also designed in such a way that assembling and disassembling is to be possible to do within 20 minutes at any location. Furthermore, the solution includes a machine learning program with analyses dust patterns and provide cleaning schedule recommendations.

Energy-efficient air conditioning using latent heat

Temperate Technologies has developed an air-conditioning solution for small-medium sized commercial buildings that can decrease energy consumption by up to 40% and that decreases refrigerant leaks by up to 90%. The solution is a new type of evaporative cooler, the True Dew Cooler, which has several technical advantages over traditional coolers, such as being able to cool the coolant convectively. The system also allows the coolant to be transported in a closed loop. As such, it is not at risk for contamination and can be safely pumped to the evaporator side of the cooling system, enabling free-cooling.

Energy efficient biomass boiler for industrial SMEs

The innovation from Gtarang Energy Solutions is a high-efficiency biomass furnace for small and medium-sized industries. By including proper mixing of the biomass fuel in the pyrolysis, the solution can reach an efficiency of up to 60% at the scale it is built for, allowing for savings in operational costs as well as reducing environmental impact by reducing harmful emissions up to 80%. The solution also includes a unique flame control which allows for reduction of manual labor in the process.

Low cost small scale bio-CNG upgrading

Grassroots Energy has developed the first economically viable technology for purification and compression of biogas at smaller scales (100 m3/day). The compressed gas can be used for several markets such as cooking, transportation and agriculture, all of which Grassroots deem as viable markets. According to the company, it is uses 50 % energy compared to market alternatives. The purified compressed gas can reduce the impact of indoor cooking on human health as opposed to traditional alternatives.

Gasifier of waste with high ash content

The solution is developed as a small-scale and localised/distributed gasification of agricultural and municipal solid waste. The waste comes with a high level of inorganic matter. The organic matter can be further utilized for energy production which could offset the need for some fossil-fueled energy production.
