Cogeneration

Soliton Energy is partnered with a leader in the design and installation of cogeneration systems.  Natural gas or propane fuels a heat engine to generate electrcity.  Exhaust gas heat is recovered through a heat exchanger to heat/chill water/air inside a building. 

Typical cogeneration models have losses as in any system. The energy distribution below is represented as a percent of total input energy:

  • Electricity = 45%
  • Heat + Cooling = 40%
  • Heat losses = 13%
  • Electrical line losses = 2%

Soliton Energy can analyze your present energy situation and help you find the best solution for a cogeneration system.
