Thanks to Tracy T for sharing this news via Facebook – Clarian Energy, run by West Seattle energy entrepreneur Chad Maglaque, is celebrating a big win – a Consumer Innovation award in the GE Ecomagination Challenge. It’s for Clarian’s SmartBox Solar Module, which will make it possible to tap into solar power via existing home outlets. Xconomy has the story here; you can also read about it on TechFlash (where we found the video embedded above).
Interesting, but the video leaves much to be desired in terms of explaining how the system works. I think a diagram showing the alternative energy input (solar or wind) in the loop would have been helpful.
Kathleen – the contest or the company? Follow the link to the company’s website – they should have contact info … TR
is it UL listed yet? this seems like it would require the homeowner to submit the required utility interconnect agreement as a power generator. pretty cool, as long as its safe and legal.
Sorry, comment time is over.
