Smart city

A highway at night lit by self-powered luminaires.

Smart lighting

Self-powered intelligent luminaires for streets, highways and tunnels.

The problem
Lighting on poles, highways and tunnels needs energy and maintenance in places where both are expensive.
The solution
Solar-powered intelligent luminaires in which KIWI manages the energy between panel and batteries, with impedance matching and MPPT.
The result
More of the panel’s energy stored in the batteries: self-sustaining lighting infrastructure.

What KIWI does here

Energy source
Light (solar panel)
What KIWI adds
Impedance matching + MPPT
Result
More solar energy stored in the batteries

KIWI sits between the solar panel and the batteries.

By matching the impedance between them and tracking the panel’s maximum power point (MPPT), it raises the share of the light energy that actually reaches the batteries — more stored energy from the same panel.
