Description

SIARQ was awarded a public tender to install a network of 5 SOLAR HUBs across various locations in Premiá de Mar, a coastal city near Barcelona. For the past 2.5 years, these solar-powered units have been operating reliably, providing sustainable urban lighting and real-time air quality monitoring through integrated sensors. The project has proven to be a success, delivering significant energy savings, reducing CO2 emissions, and contributing to the city’s environmental goals. The SOLAR HUBs have also enhanced the public's awareness of air quality, aligning with smart city initiatives by integrating IoT technologies. The client has expressed high satisfaction with the performance and durability of the SOLAR HUBs, acknowledging their positive impact on the city’s environmental footprint and the efficiency of its public services. This project showcases SIARQ's commitment to innovative Greentech solutions for urban sustainability.

Impact & Result

A total of 1,971 kWh/year, resulting in a combined annual reduction of 2.25 tons of CO2 emissions. The inclusion of AQI sensors further enhances the environmental impact by continuously monitoring air quality, supporting smart city development. The holistic ROI includes economic savings from reduced pollution, better public health outcomes, and the potential value of data generated by the AQI sensors.

Solution Spotlight

The SOLAR HUB is a state-of-the-art solar infrastructure that stores energy, delivers eco-friendly lighting, and monitors air quality in real-time. Its goal is to combat urban pollution and cut CO2 emissions. This groundbreaking solution substitutes conventional streetlights with solar-powered units that also function as environmental quality monitoring stations and provide free energy for device charging. The SOLAR HUB stands out due to its patented parabolic solar module, which integrates effortlessly into the streetlight design, minimizing maintenance costs and installation errors. When combined with our URBAN BRAIN platform, it allows users to access real-time environmental data, empowering cities to make well-informed decisions for enhancing air quality.
