by Rebecca Walker — November 6, 2009—Sol, Inc., a leader in solar powered LED outdoor lighting with 20 years of manufacturing experience, has introduced its next generation solar light intelligence, aiSUN, which combines a solar energy controller and LED driver in one unit.
Developed by Sol’s internal engineering team, aiSUN operates as the brain, heart and nervous system of a solar light, making it brighter, more efficient and less complex, says the company.
“With our efficiency and patent-pending dimming and control technology, aiSUN allows Sol to efficiently configure solar light systems for nearly any location around the globe; allowing many more customers to experience the benefits of off-grid solar lighting,” said Rick Schuett, CEO.
Critical to the operation of any solar light, the electronic intelligence ensures reliable operation every night, and allows for integration of control inputs so customers have light when required.
aiSUN uses proprietary electronics and software developed by Sol, Inc., making it both the power-processing and lighting control intelligence within Sol’s light systems. With adaptive dimming and patented energy-management control, aiSUN efficiently converts and stores solar light energy from the sun during the day. At night, aiSUN powers high-flux LED lighting from the reserve energy in any one or combination of five operating modes including dimming, split-night, motion detector, wireless and network integration.
Sol’s aiSUN provides the A.L.L.Night algorithm, which allows customers to define a near-infinite combination of lighting levels and operating times to illuminate their facilities when desired and at what brightness level.
