The Touché streetlight combines aesthetics with solar energy that self-sufficiently illuminate public spaces around the world.
The Touché streetlight is designed with solar panels that discreetly cover the surface vertically from top to bottom, showcasing that sustainable public lighting can also be visually appealing. The solar panels provide enough energy for the streetlight to work without interruptions, even in countries where sunlight can be sparse. The solution requires no electrical connection, making it applicable both in cities and in countryside areas where grid access is a challenge. Producing about 2 to 3 times its own consumption, Touché can work as an energy contributor if connected to the grid. The streetlight also features intelligent communication units allowing optimal management of the individual lighting profiles by controlling movement sensors, operating data, alarms, and dimming.
The cost of street lighting for municipalities is growing due to rising energy costs and the increasing cost of maintenance and replacement.1 The Touché streetlight addresses this issue by providing a solution that is energy self-sufficient and capable of producing surplus energy for the benefit of other energy consumers in the grid. The harmonious design will also beautify urban and rural surroundings alike.
The 91 million streetlights in Europe alone constitute potential for significant CO2 emission reduction if shifted to solar power.
Touché serves as a prominent sustainable technology in public spaces, thereby facilitating public awareness on renewable energy use.
Replacing just one traditional lamp post of approx 100 watt/h translates into 400 kWh of electricity saved annually, according to Bjarne Schläger Design.
