An Italian company specialized in robotics and renewable energy products developed a pole capable of supporting up to 4 photovoltaic panels, a wind turbine and lithium batteries inside (all the electronics are contained in the pole itself that acts as an electrical box). The pole has the possibility of having video surveillance systems (cameras) on board and solutions for recharging e-bikes and e-scooters which means having 220V sockets onboard to power 220V devices related to the world of soft mobility. Another project is to have systems for recharging drones on board, a very useful concept for allowing the recharging of drones in various points of the cities without having to return them to the "base".
The development logic is also to create smart islands where the self-sufficient pole (therefore that does not require wiring from the electrical network) can power other 220V devices with limited wiring to the island, having a lot of power onboard.
Interested in introducing the technology in new markets the developer is looking for foreign partners having a good knowledge of local market rules and regulations interested in signing a commercial agreement with technical assistance (the Italian company will offer technical support in the technology transfer) or to create a joint venture.
Advantages & innovations
Multifunction system, no grid and no excavation for cablings, remote control through web dashboard, energy storage, IoT devices available, modularity and containing box system.
Stage of development
Already on the market
Partner sought
Commercial agreement with technical assistance: the company is seeking partners active in renewable energy solutions with a good knowledge of local market rules and regulations and technical support services are offered.
Joint venture agreements for adapting the device to specific market segments and distributing it are sought as well.
