Cooling Loads

Hybrid solar lighting (HSL) systems distribute natural sunlight to luminaires located in office or retail buildings in order to reduce energy consumption associated with conventional lighting systems. HSL systems reduce energy consumption directly by reducing the lighting energy and indirectly by reducing the associated cooling loads. A key component of the HSL system is the fiber optic bundle (FOB) that transmits the light from the collector to the luminaire. The observed thermal failure of the FOB when exposed to concentrated sunlight has motivated the development of a thermal model of this component. This paper describes the development of a predictive thermal model of the heat transfer in an FOB for an HSL system. The model is verified experimentally against temperature measurements obtained in the lab under controlled conditions and provides a powerful design tool that can be used to evaluate alternative thermal management strategies.

Grave Problem

M-Kopa Solar is a pay-as-you-go provider of solar home systems, catering to low-income, off-grid customers in East Africa. The company goes by the tagline, ‘Power for Everyone’. Using mobile payments system and an innovative approach to energy delivery, M-Kopa succeeded in building a business which solved a grave problem for the poorest of the poor and has the potential to become a billion dollar enterprise. The case begins with a description of the background in which M-Kopa is operating. It goes on to explain how M-Kopa used the infrastructure gap in sub-Saharan Africa as an opportunity and propagated solar power as an alternative to traditional energy. Finally, it lays out the challenges M-Kopa may face on its expansion spree.
