> Our core innovation is a radiative cooling material that we’ve combined with a panel system to improve the efficiency of any vapor-compression based cooling system A heat pump is a “ vapor-compression based cooling system” so that tech is an addition-to not an instead-of. Whether it’s better probably depends on how expensive the additional efficiency is in practice. > SkyCool’s Panels save 2x – 3x as much energy as a solar panel generates given the same area. So if you’re area constrained maybe. | ||

That's very hard to believe. Radiative cooling is really bad compared to any kind of fan in front of aluminum fins. Air itself is an isolator, there is a reason you need to shove in fresh air to take on more energy from the heat source. | ||
