Clear Blue Technologies International has won a $650,000 contract to deliver 80 Illumient Smart Off-Grid power systems to light a two-mile highway stretch in Pennsylvania.
Clear Blue is to carry out the three-year project in the city of Allentown in collaboration with its regional partner Metro-Tech Sales & Consulting.
The company says its Illumient Smart Off-Grid solar streetlights eliminate the need for trenching and grid connectivity, significantly reducing the cost and disruptions caused by large roadway construction projects.
Clear Blue founder Miriam Tuerk says: “Illumient's off-grid reliability and remote monitoring capabilities easily translate to a lower-cost solution that can increase America’s highway safety.”
The llumient system comes with Clear Blue’s Energy as a Service subscription.
Clear Blue is to use its patented Illumience cloud management, control and maintenance platform to deliver ongoing power management and control to the city on an annual basis over the next three years.
According to Clear Blue, this system provides remote troubleshooting, remediation and predictive weather forecasting for maximum uptime.
Allentown chose the partners to deploy the technology for the American Parkway following an initial pilot phase in 2019 in which four llumient systems were demonstrated in the city.
The installations are expected to begin over the next few months along the American Parkway in Allentown.
