Technology Solutions
Led by combined heat & power and supported by solar thermal, geothermal, and storage, every Kite project combines the technologies that fit your facility's load — not the ones that fit a product catalog.
65–85%
overall system efficiency — vs ~33% for grid electricity alone
CHP simultaneously generates electricity and usable thermal energy from a single fuel source, capturing heat that conventional generation throws away. Kite owns, operates, and maintains the system; your facility buys its outputs under a PPA or ESA — gaining resilience, predictable pricing, and a lower total cost of energy from one fuel input.
Hospitals, food & beverage processors, universities, industrial manufacturers, hotels, wastewater treatment, data centers.
PPA (per-kWh + thermal) or ESA (all-inclusive monthly service fee with guaranteed performance).
50–80%
reduction in water-heating costs from free solar heat
Solar thermal systems convert sunlight directly into usable heat for process loads, domestic hot water, and HVAC offset — at 60–80% conversion efficiency. As the thermal complement to CHP and paired with geothermal for year-round coverage, solar thermal offsets natural gas consumption and locks in long-term thermal price certainty.
Industrial process heat, hospitality and multifamily hot water, food & beverage operations, healthcare and institutional facilities.
Thermal PPA (delivered heat) or ESA — no capex, performance and O&M risk carried by Kite.
24/7
baseload thermal delivery, independent of weather
Underground thermal energy systems deliver consistent, around-the-clock heating and cooling with minimal surface footprint, virtually no emissions, and far less water use than conventional plants. Paired with solar thermal and CHP, geothermal anchors a comprehensive site energy solution that performs in every season.
Campuses, healthcare, manufacturing, and any facility with steady year-round thermal demand.
ESA with guaranteed thermal performance; commonly bundled with solar thermal and CHP.
Dispatchable
stored energy exactly when your facility needs it most
Battery energy storage pairs with any generation asset — CHP, solar, or the grid itself — to store energy when it's cheap or abundant and dispatch it during peak-price hours or outages. Storage cuts demand charges, hardens resilience, and lets every other asset on site run at its economic optimum.
Facilities with high demand charges, time-of-use exposure, or critical uptime requirements — including data centers.
ESA or capacity-based service agreement; typically bundled with a generation PPA.
25+ yrs
of zero-fuel-cost electricity within a larger project stack
PV solar plays a supporting role within Kite's larger project stacks. Where roof or land capacity allows, PV adds zero-fuel-cost, inflation-protected electricity alongside CHP, thermal, and storage assets — diversifying the site's energy mix and improving overall project economics.
Sites with available roof or adjacent land and daytime-weighted load profiles, as part of a multi-technology stack.
Bundled into the site PPA/ESA alongside the primary generation assets.
