This week, SunPower launched Helix™, a platform that provides a solar energy solution that integrates power production with energy management in a way that can be delivered to commercial customers, reportedly a first for the industry.
The Helix platform is a pre-engineered, modular solution, which is quick to install and can be applied for rooftop, carport and ground installations. It also includes SunPower® EnergyLink™, a energy intelligence software (EIS) for solar, which “quantifies real-time demand charge savings, identifies demand peaks and savings opportunities.”
The first Helix installations are expected to be constructed and completed in early 2016. Large U.S. retailer Bed Bath & Beyond has been advertised as the first mover with construction on systems for either stores expected to be SunPower’s first Helix project.
The announcement is significant for the commercialisation of solar energy, but Helix is also representative of a mindset shift from focusing on the shift from fossil fuels to renewables to thinking about how the system can be most effective.
