Beam Global Secures Chinese Patent for Innovative Hybrid Energy Technology

In a significant development for the clean energy sector, Beam Global (Nasdaq: BEEM) has been granted a new patent by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA). The patent, designated as No. ZL202080074034.9 (Publication No. CN114902807B), pertains to Beam Global’s groundbreaking *Light Tracking Assembly for Solar and Wind Power Energy*. This innovation promises to revolutionize the integration of solar and wind energy systems, enhancing efficiency and output while addressing common challenges faced by existing hybrid solutions.

The patented technology introduces a novel approach to positioning wind turbines in relation to solar panels. Unlike traditional hybrid systems that often result in shading—thereby reducing the solar yield—Beam Global’s design ensures that the wind turbine is consistently oriented down-sun from the solar array. This strategic positioning eliminates shading, maximizes solar exposure throughout the day, and significantly boosts the performance of Beam Global’s BeamSpot™ product line and future innovations combining solar and wind power.

Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global, expressed enthusiasm about the patent, emphasizing the increasing demand for integrated solar and wind solutions as the company expands its product portfolio and geographic reach. "Beam Global has always innovated to maximize the energy density of our products," Wheatley stated. He highlighted that while many products combine wind and solar generation, none utilize the unique method that Beam Global employs to prevent shading by wind turbines. "This newly patented innovation gives our products another competitive advantage," he added, noting that the ability to generate more electricity from a given footprint translates into increased electric vehicle (EV) miles or enhanced energy availability for critical applications such as disaster preparedness.

The newly patented tracking system not only addresses the shading issue but also enhances the generation capacity of BeamSpot™, a product designed to merge solar, wind, and utility-generated electricity into Beam Global’s proprietary integrated batteries. This innovation is set to improve renewable generation efficiency and further solidify Beam Global's position in the competitive clean technology market.

The acquisition of this patent marks a strategic addition to Beam Global’s intellectual property portfolio, reinforcing its commitment to innovation in the clean energy sector. By addressing a significant limitation in existing hybrid solutions, Beam Global is positioned to deliver enhanced performance and reliability in its energy products.

Beam Global is at the forefront of clean technology innovation, focusing on sustainable infrastructure products and technologies. With operations across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East, the company develops rapid, scalable EV charging solutions, energy storage, and smart city infrastructure. Headquartered in San Diego, California, with facilities in Broadview, Illinois, Serbia, and Abu Dhabi, Beam Global is dedicated to providing secure and environmentally friendly energy solutions.

Beam Global's recent patent grant in China is a testament to its commitment to innovation and sustainability in the energy sector. By addressing the critical issue of solar panel shading in hybrid solar-wind systems, Beam Global not only enhances its product offerings but also strengthens its competitive edge in the market. As the demand for integrated renewable energy solutions grows, Beam Global is well-positioned to lead the charge in transforming the electrification of transportation and energy security.
