The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) has taken a significant step by approving a pilot project featuring iLamp Israel’s autonomous solar lighting system, initiating the first operational use of this technology within the utility’s facilities. This pilot aims to evaluate the lighting system’s performance, reliability, and adaptability to the coastal conditions of the site, potentially paving the way for broader applications if successful.
iLamp’s innovative system integrates multiple functionalities into a single lighting pole, featuring LED lights, a 360-degree solar array, and battery storage. This design enables the system to generate and store its own electricity, allowing for autonomous operation without the need for a traditional grid connection. Moreover, the platform offers edge-computing capabilities, which permit data processing locally within the pole, reducing the reliance on centralized data systems.
The pilot project involves closely monitoring the system’s performance against specific technical and operational benchmarks established for the trial. The results of this assessment will inform IEC’s decision on whether to pursue further deployment or expansion of the technology. Anna Finkelstein, who handles Business Development at iLamp Israel, emphasized that the pilot would provide valuable performance data in challenging real-world conditions, aiding in the thorough evaluation of the technology.
Albert Taubi, Director of iLamp Israel, remarked that IEC’s approval marks a key advancement towards the incorporation of autonomous solar infrastructure by large-scale operators. For now, the focus remains on completing the installation and assessing its efficacy. However, any broader deployment will necessitate a separate evaluation by IEC, contingent on the outcomes of this initial project.
iLamp Israel Ltd. holds the exclusive rights to the iLamp platform within Israel, with the technology being developed by the UK-based Conflow Power Group Ltd.
