PROGRAM

 
Our guests this week were Dr. Shiba Bhowmik + Les Mood from SineWatts
 
SineWatts' purpose is to transform the lives of present and future generations by sustainably powering vehicles that also clean the electric power for homes, offices, and factories – everywhere we live or work and any way we travel or transport goods on land. SineWatts recently relocated from North Carolina to Bakersfield, where it is partnering with CSUB and the City of Bakersfield to continue advancing renewable technology.
 

About SineWatts - 

We heed the planet's demands to electrify our world sustainably. We enable the lowest-cost energy storage solution on the electric grid without increasing material content or harming Nature. Our proprietary powering solution converts electric vehicles as the quintessential storage for the grid when parked and plugged in. It also doubles up to fast charge the vehicles. With ubiquitous, distributed storage we enable full utilization of our rooftops – homes where we live, offices and factories where we work – to generate power for all sorts of electricity usage including electrified transportation. Power sources become localized eliminating chronic systemic inefficiencies. Our powering solution inherently replaces low-tech equipment, misfitted centralized powering systems, and insufficient infrastructure for EVs. This dramatically reduces the carbon footprint and delivers 21st-century powering solutions for societies of today and tomorrow.
 
We enable the long-anticipated market transformation of the electric grid. We make our customers the focal point of our offerings. Their energy usage, storage and generation allow us to offer customized solutions to help them reduce their electricity bill and also derive recurring revenue from their systems. We deliver these customer-centric benefits, significantly lowering infrastructure costs, eliminating equipment and discarding inept products that are unfit for the challenges of the 21st century.
 
We are a US Department of Energy-funded startup that has developed and patented a revolutionary power electronics technology. Built ground-up, our holistic solution is the most affordable, highest performing, user-interactive, and friendly system for customer-centric grid-edge solutions. We are the missing link that delivers on "doing more with less" – lowering both our physical and carbon footprint – and transferring the control of our clean energy destiny to the customers.
 
Beginning 2013, we have developed and presently commercializing a novel power electronics technology. The primary objective of our endeavor is all about minimizing material content, physical footprint. Doing more with less applies equally to the powering hardware and the application it serves. That's when dramatic carbon footprint and system-wide cost reductions happen. It's ever hardly by deploying more and more hardware. Nature's own solutions are always efficient and simple.  We follow the same principle.
