What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
A genuinely novel, large-scale heat-reuse and chip-cooling pairing from a primary operator, but both halves are pre-full-deployment and pv.vision has no facility to apply them to - orientation signal, not adoptable tech.
Next
Watch for first-phase commissioning data (actual recovered MWh, real coverage %) in the 2026-2027 heating seasons and any move of microfluidic cooling out of the lab; reference-only for pv.vision (no owned facilities).
