Product description

Pavegen Solar+ is an innovative, sustainable technology that combines kinetic energy harvesting with solar power to create a smart, renewable energy solution. Designed for urban environments, public spaces, and commercial applications, Pavegen Solar+ integrates the company’s signature kinetic tiles with photovoltaic panels, maximizing energy generation from both foot traffic and sunlight.

Each step on a Pavegen kinetic tile generates electricity through electromagnetic induction, which can power nearby infrastructure such as lighting, sensors, and digital displays. By incorporating solar panels into the system, Pavegen Solar+ significantly enhances energy efficiency, ensuring continuous power supply even when foot traffic is low.

Beyond energy generation, Pavegen Solar+ enables real-time data collection and connectivity. The system captures insights on pedestrian movement, energy output, and user engagement, making it a valuable tool for smart city development and interactive public spaces. This data can be integrated with IoT applications to optimize urban planning and improve sustainability initiatives.

Pavegen Solar+ is an ideal solution for companies, municipalities, and organizations aiming to reduce carbon footprints, promote green energy adoption, and create engaging, tech-driven experiences. Its dual-source renewable energy approach makes it a pioneering step toward cleaner, smarter cities worldwide.

 

Key characteristics and environmental benefits

Key Characteristics:

  • Dual Energy Harvesting: Pavegen’s Solar+ system combines monocrystalline solar panels with kinetic energy tiles, capturing both sunlight and footsteps.

  • Kinetic Technology: Converts the vertical force of foot traffic into off-grid electricity using electromagnetic induction.

  • Smart Connectivity: Integrated sensors and data systems allow real-time tracking of energy generated and footfall analytics.

  • Modular Design: Easily installed in urban spaces like walkways, transport hubs, retail areas, and campuses.

  • Durability: Built for high footfall environments with weather-resistant materials.

  • Clean Energy Generation: Reduces dependence on fossil fuels by producing renewable energy on-site.

  • CO₂ Reduction: Helps offset carbon emissions by powering low-energy devices (e.g., LED lighting, sensors).

  • Engages Communities: Encourages sustainable behavior through interactive, visible green technology.

  • Supports Smart Cities: Enables data-driven urban planning and sustainable infrastructure.

  • Minimal Impact Installation: Designed for easy integration without significant structural changes or energy use during setup.

 

About the Company

Pavegen, established in 2009 by Laurence Kemball-Cook, is a UK-based technology company dedicated to sustainability through innovative energy solutions. The company has developed kinetic flooring technology that transforms human footsteps into renewable energy, interactive experiences, and valuable data insights. By integrating Pavegen's kinetic tiles into urban environments, each step taken generates clean electricity, powering applications such as LED lighting and interactive displays. This not only reduces reliance on traditional energy sources but also actively involves individuals in the energy creation process, fostering a deeper connection to sustainability efforts. Pavegen's commitment extends beyond energy generation; the company aims to educate and engage communities on environmental issues. Their installations serve as tangible demonstrations of how technology can promote sustainability and environmental conservation. Collaborations with global brands and organizations have amplified Pavegen's impact. For instance, a partnership with Transport for New South Wales led to the installation of energy-generating tiles at Sydney's Central Railway Station, transforming it into a living example of sustainability in action. Commuters' footsteps power dynamic displays, raising awareness about renewable energy and demonstrating the practical applications of kinetic technology. ​ Through these initiatives, Pavegen exemplifies how innovative technology can contribute to a greener future, empowering individuals and communities to participate actively in sustainable practices.
