Maturity stage TRL 8 - Prototype finalized

ePodlite is a smart, connected, hybrid solar battery that upgrades old streetlights into modern, energy-efficient systems without replacing existing infrastructure. It stores solar energy to power lights at night and can switch to the grid when needed. By giving a second life to existing lamp posts, ePodlite reduces CO₂ emissions, cuts waste, and supports the development of smart cities with features like remote monitoring, adaptive lighting and predictive maintenance. Its intelligent lighting system uses AI algorithms that learn from daily patterns—like traffic and daylight changes—to adjust brightness automatically. This helps save energy and reduce unnecessary light, creating more sustainable and comfortable urban spaces. It also enables early fault detection, optimizing maintenance operations and improving overall system reliability.
