ANIHEES- Energy, Environment and Sustainability
The project titled "SSN Eco-Friendly Solar Photovoltaic Pole for Multi-Utility" was selected for prototype demonstration under the second wave of the ANIHEES (Energy, Environment, and Sustainability) conference network. This innovative project aims to address the growing need for sustainable infrastructure by integrating solar energy solutions with practical, multi-functional urban and rural applications.
Project Overview:
The proposed Eco-Friendly Solar Photovoltaic Pole is a versatile, sustainable product designed to serve multiple purposes, ranging from energy-efficient street lighting to charging stations for electric vehicles, public Wi-Fi hotspots, and environmental sensors. The concept integrates solar photovoltaic panels with a smart pole system, harnessing solar energy to power various utilities without relying on grid electricity. This reduces carbon emissions and promotes the use of renewable energy in public infrastructure.
