The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) has given the green light to a pilot project that will see the deployment of iLamp Israel’s autonomous solar lighting system at one of its facilities. This marks the first time the utility is testing this technology in an operational setting. The pilot aims to evaluate the system’s performance in terms of lighting, reliability, and its adaptability to the coastal environment where the facility is located. The outcomes of this trial will be crucial in deciding whether the technology is appropriate for broader use across other sites.
The iLamp system is designed to integrate multiple functionalities into a single lighting pole. Each unit is equipped with LED lighting, a 360-degree solar array, and a battery storage system. This setup allows the lighting poles to generate and store their own electricity, enabling them to function independently without needing a connection to the traditional power grid. Furthermore, the system boasts edge-computing capabilities, which means data collected by devices on the pole can be processed locally rather than being entirely sent to a central system.
As part of the pilot, the system’s performance will be rigorously monitored according to specific technical and operational criteria established for the project. IEC will study these results carefully to decide on any future deployment or expansion plans. Anna Finkelstein, who handles Business Development at iLamp Israel, emphasized that the pilot serves as an opportunity to gather valuable performance data from a challenging operational environment, thereby assessing the technology’s capability in real-world scenarios.
Albert Taubi, Director of iLamp Israel, highlighted that the IEC’s approval is a step forward in integrating autonomous solar infrastructure with large-scale operators. The immediate priority is to complete the installation and thoroughly evaluate its performance. However, it’s important to note that this pilot does not equate to an endorsement for widespread deployment. Any potential expansion will undergo a separate evaluation process by IEC, contingent on the initial project’s findings.
iLamp Israel Ltd. holds the exclusive rights to the iLamp platform within Israel. The technology itself was developed by Conflow Power Group Ltd., a company based in the United Kingdom.
