The Solar+ tile is the latest release from Pavegen’s suite of kinetic energy products, harnessing the power of movement to generate energy and providing valuable data and insights, aimed at individuals and businesses. The tile has been designed to generate 30 times more power than its predecessor, combining solar power with kinetic energy from footsteps, thereby potentially offering the possibility of continuous energy generation during daylight with the solar cells remaining active even when foot traffic is low.
While at night, power can still be harvested from footsteps on the tile. It has been reengineered to use fewer materials, thereby slashing its carbon footprint by 30 percent and significantly improving performance. The original Pavegen tiles harnessed power from over 1 billion footsteps in smart cities, from public spaces in London to sports stadiums in the US and transport hubs in Australia and Hong Kong. The installations have attracted a range of top clients including HSBC, Ford and Google. Its modular installation means it is ready to integrate into any urban setting, aimed at making sustainability seamless.
“Pavegen has been a pioneer in the world of exciting, sustainable technology that harnesses movement, to move people, in some of the most iconic locations in the world” said Laurence Kemball-Cook, founder and CEO, Pavegen. “The launch of Solar+ means we can power even more applications, gather better data and create even more impactful experiences that connect communities, businesses and brands with ESG goals. The sun is always shining in our key markets in the Middle East, and we thought to make the most of this abundant energy source alongside the kinetic element of Pavegen. Now people can walk the walk for climate change and ‘walk on the sun’ with Solar+.”
