The DOE says that the draft criteria have come out now because:
New products in this category are being introduced regularly energy-efficiency programs, municipalities, and other stakeholders have indicated a high level of interest in these applications CALiPER testing of market-available luminaires in these categories reveals a wide range of performance demonstration projects sponsored by utilities , municipalities, and the DOE GATEWAY program indicate potential for energy savings, but also the need for minimum performance guidelines for these applications

Performance criteria
The Proposed Category "A" (near-term applications) additions to the Outdoor Area & Parking Garage area include the below.
1) For outdoor pole-mounted area and roadway luminaires, application requirements are a minimum light output from the luminaire of 1,000 lumens (initial), and a minimum FTE that varies according to whether the luminaires are shielded or unshielded, high output or low.
Luminaire types in this application include but are not limited to luminaires intended for lighting streets, parking lots, walkways, and plazas, and also decorative post-top luminaires. This category excludes luminaires intended to be mounted below eye level, eg, bollards and steplights .
2) For outdoor wall-mounted area luminaires ("wall packs"), application requirements for minimum light output are 300 lumens (initial), among other metrics.
3) For parking garage/canopy luminaires, application requirements for minimum light output is 2,000 lumens (initial), among other requirements.

DOE invites stakeholder review and comments regarding these second draft criteria by July 31, 2009.
Fitted target efficacy
Second key assumptions underlie the FTE metric. First, relatively rectangular distribution patterns cover most areas more efficiently (with less unnecessary overlap) than rounded distributions. Second, a luminaire's approximate area of ​​coverage can be defined as the area illuminated to IES-recommended uniformity ratios .
The minimum FTEs for SSL luminaires in each category were established to achieve at least 20% energy savings compared to top performing incumbent HID products.

Black modules are ideal for use in roofs, carports and photovoltaic construction (BIPV). The black roof and building façade are fashionable and beautiful, and at the same time have power generation benefits, which are especially loved by distributed users in Japan, the Middle East, and Europe and the United States.
The SUNKET All-Black Series Modules, with its true black and consistent color, can be perfectly integrated with the building (the villa effect is better), and enhance the aesthetic effect of the overall building.
The Solar Cell adopts nano-scale black silicon texturing technology, which reduces the reflectivity of the cell, improves the utilization rate of sunlight, and improves the cell efficiency and module power.
The SUNKET All-Black Series Module also integrates various technologies such as Half-cut and MBB to achieve higher power output and reliability. Using half-cut technology, reducing resistance loss and improving power output; using MBB technology can shorten the current transmission distance, reduce the internal resistance loss of the cell, and bring more power output to customers. At the same time, the half-cut technology can also reduce the hot spot temperature of the module, and the MBB technology has better anti-cracking ability, which can improve the reliability of the module and meet the needs of high safety performance of the roof.
