Smart Flooring Technology
December 21, 2024
Pavegen Solar+ is an innovative smart flooring technology that combines kinetic and solar energy capture to generate renewable power. Pavegen Solar+ tiles harness both the kinetic energy from footsteps and solar energy from sunlight. When someone steps on a tile, it compresses and activates an electromagnetic generator inside, producing energy. Additionally, the tiles are equipped with high-efficiency solar cells that capture energy even in low-light conditions.
With dual energy capture, Pavegen Solar+ combines kinetic and solar energy for continuous power generation. The solar cells deliver significantly higher efficiency compared to typical solar cells. The re-engineered substructure uses fewer raw materials, reducing the carbon footprint. The system is designed to withstand harsh environments with high resistance to water and dust.
This smart flooring technology can power LED lighting, interactive displays, smart street furniture, and environmental sensors. It promotes renewable energy and reduces reliance on traditional power sources. Interactive installations encourage public participation and raise awareness about sustainability. Pavegen Solar+ can also provide data insights by captureing foot traffic patterns and energy generation data for urban planning and optimization. Pavegen Solar+ has been implemented in various locations, providing practical energy solutions and creating engaging experiences that connect people with sustainability efforts.
