Smart city


We believe that in a short time solar panels will become part of the urban built environment.

PLATIO provides clean energy for smart cities to sustain development:

  • For mobile chargers and power sources built into outdoor furniture
  • For digital street devices: displays and information kiosks
  • For lighting and other low-power devices

Power your devices anywhere with free green energy.

PLATIO’s cost-effective and quick-to-install solar paver solution provides a free, green and independent source of energy to power street devices anywhere. It is a reliable and weatherproof power generation to power advanced devices, while maintaining the valuable outdoor surfaces.

devices need

POWER SOURCES

  • Expensive and complicated grid construction (the time-consuming, complicated process of power grid construction)
  • Devices with high energy demand cannot be powered with regular PVs either.
  • A cost-effective, instant, and independent power source (battery pack increases options).
  • Sufficient clean energy to operate devices where no grid is available, unlike regular solar panels.
  • Provides larger-scale energy production for advanced devices.

Groningen, Netherlands

Size: 400 m2 I Performance: 53.000 kWh I Client: Municipality of Groningen, Making City EU

We built Europe’s new solar footpath in the Netherlands as part of the European Union’s Making City program. The yearly energy production is 53.000 kWh and equals to 18 Dutch average households’ yearly energy need. The project aims to create Positive Energy Districts (PED) through innovative technologies. The 400 square meters of PLATIO solar pavers are helping to achieve these goals by supplying the town hall with clean energy, bringing the city closer to becoming carbon neutral by 2035.

Budapest, Hungary

Size: 3.52 m2 I Performance: 0.46 kW I Partner: Kuube, Rollin

Together with Rollin and Kuube, we have developed a unique micromobility solution: a micromobility station with green energy and smart features. PLATIO’s solar pavers charge electric scooters waiting at Rollin’ charging stations with solar energy. And the Kuube smart bench complements this with smart features (wifi, phone charging, music) and a social experience for users. The result is clean, cost-effective, energy-efficient transport in cities.
