Why install PowerNEST?

PowerNEST is the only rooftop renewable energy system that can fully power a medium- to high-rise building. It’s a flowing kinetic sculpture of wind & solar tech, a stunning crown that provides on-site energy for buildings five stories or higher. PowerNEST is a ready-made, eye-catching solution for conforming to new legislation, like Local Low 97 and the European Commission’s “Fit for 55” emissions standards, before 2030.

Beyond its award-winning architecture, the innovative design of PowerNEST generates 6x more energy than solar panels alone. It harnesses the Venturi effect to add 40-60% more windflow, creating power even in a slight breeze. Cutting-edge solar panels are arranged bi-facially to generate energy above and below while being cooled by the air. The smart combo of wind & solar in PowerNEST captures more energy, in more weather conditions, than other on-site systems.

Reducing the electricity bill is just the beginning; this is energy independence driven by the power of nature.

Sustainable Building Regulations

The Paris Agreement marked a global mindset shift when a majority of the world’s nations agreed that humanity is irreversibly affecting the climate. Back at home, each country introduced its own regulations aimed at transitioning to renewable energy and meeting global sustainability goals. Many countries took immediate action by enacting environmental policies, which often included new building codes. PowerNEST helps buildings across the globe conform to their new local emissions standards.

How much energy does PowerNEST generate?

PowerNEST uses smart wind & solar design to capture 6 – 10x more electricity than rooftop solar panels alone. Perimeter fins grab building facade upflow and channel it over a vertical wind turbine. The entire PowerNEST structure funnels airflow using the Venturi Effect to dramatically increase wind speed over the turbine. A bi-facial solar canopy captures more sunlight, at more angles, than a normal solar installation. The entire system can be adapted to optimize energy capture in your local weather conditions. That’s how PowerNEST silently generates enough electricity to fully power a 15-story residential building.

PowerNEST’s energy output depends on:

  1. Available roof space: minimum 50 m2 (550 sq ft) 50m2
  2. Roof height: minimum 5 floors
  3. Building orientation
  4. Geographic location
  5. Surrounding obstacles

PowerNEST Fits Many Building Types

Any residential, commercial, or public building with a flat-roof that stands 5+ stories tall can install a PowerNEST. A minimum space of 50m 2 (550sq. ft.) is required for one unit, but more roof space dedicated to a PowerNEST system equals more energy output. PowerNEST is a perfect solution for urban and landlocked buildings. And in coastal or island areas, PowerNEST can work on rooftops below 5 floors.

Origin of PowerNEST

PowerNEST is a rooftop installation that has won an impressive list of awards and grants since its inception in 2009. While our CEO Dr. Alexander Suma was studying for his PhD at the University of Miami, he was stunned by the number of A/C units running all day in his neighborhood. With 6 million people living in sunny Miami-Dade, all running their wasteful air conditioning nonstop, Dr. Suma knew it was time for a better solution…
