Revolutionary hybrid lighting solution

Air synergy has developed a great new sustainable lighting solution for festivals and events. The Remote Power Unit (RPU) looks and acts like a streetlight but it’s powered by a hybrid wind and solar unit. It also boasts battery storage of up to 3 days meaning it can deliver a 100% reliable supply whatever the weather.

The RPU uses revolutionary technology: a ducted augmented wind turbine (DAWT) system that accelerates the air. This increases the blade rpm and results in an output of 1,200kwh secure power per Annum (based on a 5 m/s average wind-speed site). The system also enables the turbine to ‘cut in’ sooner and quickly increase power output at low wind speeds. This is a critical feature means a higher battery voltage, more powerful and reliable lighting as well as improved battery life.
