Major Current Innovations:

• Industry Heat Pumps -- Industry is the last major Sector which still needs major Carbon Elimination solutions for #RealClimateAction. We are developing a new form of Modular Encapsulated Heat Pump for achieving the High Temperatures necessary to eliminate fossil from Industry Process Heat production. See more at http://IndustryHeatPumps.com/.

• PV Robotics -- We developed PV Robotics(tm) http://pvrobotics.com/ for Extremely Fast Fully Automated Very Large Solar Array Installation. This innovation-based effort won a DOE Phase I grant which demonstrated how automation can massively accelerate and lower the cost of Solar, and thus help transition our economy off fossil fuels to #RE100 -- 100% Renewable Energy. The project is now underway, with key Autonomous Vehicle capabilities now being added under sponsored research at UNC-Asheville. The latest project video can seen here https://intelli-products.com/video/.

We helped establish a team of

(GHP) page. That page still needs work by some subject matter experts.

We are also collectively building/maintaining the

to help folks understand what GHP's do.
