SOLAR LIGHTING IN USE

There are currently two proposed applications for hybrid solar lighting systems. First, hybrid lighting systems are being developed for use in commercial buildings to displace electric lighting, which consumes a large portion of electricity in commercial buildings. The figure below illustrates one system configuration being developed for this application.

Second, researchers are investigating the use of HSL as a key component in new hybrid solar photobioreactors that sequester carbon via enhanced photosynthetic-based bio-processing at power plants, illustrated below. This concept is explained in further detail in the Hybrid Solar Lighting for Photosynthetic-based Carbon Sequestration at Power Plants poster.
