EfstonScience, a science superstore at Canada, has started a new division specifically for solar wind powered street lights. EfstonScience’ Enlighten Solar and Hybrid Lighting System is a novel, off-grid light standard, which produce electricity using wind and solar power to light high-efficient LED fixtures.
The company partnered with StressCrete/King Luminaire and Clear Blue Technologies to develop these lighting systems. StressCrete/King Luminaire is a producer of LED luminaries and spun concrete poles, and Clear Blue Technologies is a company that offers real-time clouded remote monitoring, data collection and hybrid charge controllers.
The lighting System includes in-pole real-time remote management and monitoring system to confirm efficiency, track device performance and perform troubleshooting with ease.
In the lighting system, solar cell and Daisy vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) are combined to produce sufficient electricity to power the LED bulbs throughout the night. Using less power, the LED bulbs emit the light equivalent to conventional HID lights. Furthermore, the light system comes in duo-LED, VAWT plus two-panel design to cater to larger power requiring areas.
According to the proprietor of EfstonScience, Irene Efston, the entire look of the panel mount and light arm have been remodeled to acquire optimal solar energy and for beauty. Numerous wind turbines were analyzed and a perfect integration of hybrid power has been achieved currently.
These light systems are already in use at the Centennial College in Ontario, the Township of King and the City of Toronto. Further, it can be used in rural and city roadways, recreation and parks, shopping malls, corporate complexes and educational institutions.
