The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) has initiated a pilot project to test iLamp Israel’s autonomous solar lighting system at one of its facilities. This marks the first time the utility will deploy this innovative technology, which aims to evaluate its performance, reliability, and suitability for operation under the coastal conditions of the site. The outcome of this pilot will inform IEC’s decision on whether to adopt the technology more broadly in the future.
iLamp’s system boasts an integrated design that combines LED lighting, a 360-degree solar panel, and battery storage within a single pole. This setup allows the lighting system to function independently of the conventional power grid by generating and storing its own electricity. Additionally, the platform offers edge-computing capabilities, enabling local data processing from equipment installed on the pole, reducing the need to send information to a centralized system.
The pilot aims to gather valuable performance data from a challenging environment, offering insight into how the technology fares under real-world conditions. Anna Finkelstein, who leads Business Development at iLamp Israel, emphasized the significance of this opportunity to evaluate the system’s capabilities in a demanding setting. The project’s success could pave the way for introducing autonomous solar infrastructure to larger-scale operations.
According to Albert Taubi, Director of iLamp Israel, the IEC’s approval represents an important step toward broader adoption of solar lighting solutions. However, this pilot does not guarantee a wider rollout. Any potential expansion would require further assessment by IEC based on the initial project’s findings. For now, the focus remains on the successful installation and evaluation of the system’s performance in its current setting.
iLamp Israel Ltd., which exclusively licenses the iLamp platform in Israel, is working to bring these advanced solar solutions to market. The technology was initially developed by Conflow Power Group Ltd. in the United Kingdom.
