Industrial Technology Research Institute introduced three new green technologies Light&Light(TM), SideLighter(TM) and AVA-Clamp(TM) to help consumers reduce energy consumption, reach grid parity and save money on energy bills. Light&Light(TM) is the first A19 all-plastic LED light bulb technology with an illumination angle of 330 degrees. It is break-resistant and weighs less than 100 grams -- half of the competing LED light bulb. It uses less than 10 watts to produce the same light as other 60-watt incandescent light bulbs. Its price is 10-20% the cost of competing LED light bulbs. Light&Light(TM) can save 85% on light bulb power consumption. SideLighter(TM) is the first low-cost, high-performance, transparent, concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar panel to be used for dual purposes -- for energy generation and as a structural panel or window. The compact physical size of the solar cells costs 93% less to produce than current photovoltaic cells, contributing to a 46% reduction in building CPV solar panels. Its increased effectiveness will also help to achieve grid parity more quickly. AVA-Clamp(TM) is a low-cost easy-to-use clamp-on voltage and current meter technology measuring the amount of power used by a typical household or commercial appliance such as a microwave, television or industrial machine. This micro-electromechanical system (MEMS)-based metering technology is a convenient way to monitor and manage energy. Users can save up to 10% of their energy by just learning the energy consumption of their devices. The greenhouse effect continues to be a serious issue. The only way to curb this trend is to actively reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. As the research institute in Taiwan, ITRI is committed to developing technologies that are environmentally sustainable across all phases of development -- innovation, design, function and manufacturing processes. ITRI's ??three new energy-saving technologies offer individual solutions for energy efficiency (Light&Light(TM)), renewable energy/a path to grid parity (SideLighter(TM)) and energy management (AVA-Clamp(TM)).
