“Operates on 100% renewable energy!” How Off-grid self-powered pole work

“Remote”
“Automation”
“eco”

The off-grid self-powered pole stores the power generated by the solar module wrapped around the pole in the battery inside the pole, and the power can be used for LED lighting, cameras, network connection, and various sensors. It does not require the connection to grid system or electric work. It creates power in places where there is no power. It is environmentally friendly because it runs on 100% renewable energy.

Characteristics

The pole shape allows for space-saving installation and boasts high wind resistance (60m/s). Since the solar module wrapped around the pole will continue to generate power stably without being affected by piling-up snow or fallen leaves.

High generation stability
The vertically generation surface makes high generation stability and long maintenance-free period not to pile up snow or fall leaves.

High efficiency and safety
High efficiency solar sheet (model CG0901) and high safety battery (model IP1001) are used.

Not required grid system
The independent power source without grid system or electrical work.

Bright LED light
Make the place safe with LED light, where are difficult to reach the grid system.

Strong wind resistant
The pole without cable is able to resist the strong wind such as typhoon, hurricane, and cyclone.

Difference between Grid solar panel and Off-grid self-powered pole

The difference between on-grid and off-grid power poles

Off-grid power poles create power where there is no power, without the need for power construction. Therefore, it is expected to be used in various ways by installing it in places where it is difficult to connect overhead lines or where it is difficult to secure power. It will be possible to create an eco-friendly smart city using renewable energy, such as watching over the city, disaster prevention, and crime prevention.

Monitoring camera

24h video stored on SD card without grid system. The conditions and status of the pole can be monitored remotely by LTE connection.

Rever monitoring

The monitoring camera can be widely used for monitoring river flooding and landslides disasters.

Schoolyard monitoring

To install a thermometer and a hygrometer or sensors, the danger of heat stroke or air pollution such as PM 2.5 will alert children playing in the schoolyard to evacuate to the building throught warning ligghts and loudspeakers.

Weather camera

The weather conditions of the sightseeing spots, as well as weather information captured by the camera, can be periodically updated and displayed on signage and displays.

Composite weather sensors

Sensing of combined weather information such as solar radiation, wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and rainfall.

Ocean monitoring

Monitoring the ocean conditions with PV buoys and pole

Wi-Fi station

Bringing Wi-Fi stations, background music, and other enjoyment to beaches and forests where power is difficult to obtain.

Agricalture IoT

Monitoring water content, pH, air temperature, humidity, and other parameters in the soil provides agricultural visibility.

Streetlight

The 4W to 20W lights illuminate anywhere, such as mountain roads and parking lots, where it is difficult to install grid cable.

Case studyEfforts with Shiso City, Hyogo Japan for Smart City Development

Initiatives with local governments

Signed an agreement with Shiso Shi, Hyogo Prefecture in September 2021

OSM and Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture, concluded an agreement on community development for the purpose of promoting local safety and the security of residents.
A project Off-grid self-powered poles was launched.

Commencement of experiments in March 2022

Started experiments of Off-grid self-powered pole in Shiso Shi in March, 2022.

November 2022 1st phase demonstration experiment completed

Conducted verification tests of power generation, power storage systems, network communication, various sensors, etc., and completed the development of a "safe and secure monitoring system" in 1st phase.
"Illegal dumping monitoring", "weather camera", "sediment disaster tilt detection" and "parking lot monitoring" are in operation in Shiso city.

Case study

Monitoring illeagal dumping
Yamasaki Cho, Shiso Shi

Installed an off-grid power pole in the mountains where illegal dumping continues.
Equipped with LED lighting, a remote communication unit with a camera, and LTE connection, it monitors illegal dumping.
As a result, illegal dumping is eliminated where off-grid self-powered poles are installed.

Weather camera
Saijosan park, Shiso Shi

Saijosan Park, located in Yamazaki-cho, Shiso City, is known for being one of the best spots for autumn leaves in the Kansai region, and is crowded with many tourists in autumn. An off-grid self-powered pole was installed under the observatory with a good view.
Power is supplied to the camera installed on the top floor of the observatory, and images from the camera are transferred via communication. It plays the role of a weather information camera in tourist spots.

Landslide detection
Haga Cho, Shiso Shi

Install off-grid self-powered poles where landslides have occurred in the past.
A tilt sensor is installed on the slope to remotely collect information on the tilt of the ground.

Parking lot monitoring
Yamasaki Cho, Shiso Shi

An off-grid self-powered pole equipped with a unit with an SD card camera was installed in the newly established tourist parking lot.
24-hour video recording is possible to record crime prevention effects and site conditions.
We are contributing to the provision of a safe and secure life.

Operating on 100% renewable energy and using eco-friendly off-grid power poles, we are promoting safe, secure, and smart urban development. In addition to this, off-grid power poles can be used for various purposes such as irrigation channel monitoring, reservoir monitoring, agricultural IoT, and weather monitoring.

Safe and secure in your city
Why don’t you promote town development where you can live ecologically and smartly?

Inquiry

Solar sheets wrapped around the pole generate electricity, which is stored in a battery inside the pole.
Off-grid self-powered poles can be used under off-grid circumstances and can be used for a variety of purposes.
