Research & Development
Norwich Technologies Research & Development Division is focused on developing and commercializing next generation clean technology solutions. Our team of R&D engineers and scientists has received numerous research grants from the Department of Energy and National Science Foundation to develop our next generation technologies.
Our patented SnowShedder device increases the production of solar energy in the winter months by hastens snow sliding off solar array. The passive device attaches to the panel and is one of those simple “why didn’t I think of that” types of innovation.
After multiple years of testing in a variety of locations and microclimates, and upon completion of a United States Department of Energy commercialization grant, we are excited to deploy this proprietary technology to PV arrays across Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
Our SunTrap 24/7 Solar Generation System solution provides users with 24/7 reliability and low electricity costs, including avoidance of high utility transmission and distribution costs, using a hybrid system which combines solar photovoltaics (PV), and concentrating solar power (CSP) field with thermal energy storage. The patented HeatTrap water-based storage system provides long duration storage at very low cost enabling a affordable true 24/7 renewable power supply.
This project has been spun off as a separate company: Durion
Their mission is to help businesses at distributed scale fully decarbonize their energy loads with onsite generation and our proprietary thermal storage system.
Creating a greener future
Norwich Technologies develops, commercializes, and deploys forward looking clean energy innovations for our commercial, community, and utility customers. From US Department of Energy R&D funded grants to hundreds of commercial solar and EV charging installations, Norwich Technologies’ experience and services are supporting all communities’ transition to a cleaner robust future. As a certified B Corp, we measure more than just the bottom line or kilowatt hours, we are purpose-driven family of companies creating benefit for all stakeholders.
