While America struggles with the energy crisis, the highway infrastructure remains an untapped source of power as it continuously collects heat and light from the sun. ElectraWall and ElectraLights will take advantage of collecting this lost energy, and will put it to use.

 There are thousands of solar cell products on the market; however, ElectraWall is the first step in creating a truly massive solar energy infrastructure. One ElectraWall unit, as seen above, is a 2ft long, 5in diameter, ballistics grade polycarbonate cylinder with photovoltaic generation capability, as well as built-in battery storage (which prevents “brown out” a partial loss of electrical current over long distances). Each unit is coated with a layer of PFTE, which protects the outside of the device from dirt, water, moisture, and marring. The hermetically sealed inside will have no exposure to the elements. ElectraWall’s enclosure forms a semi-circle, which allows the device to maintain proper angle of incidence. This is a major advantage over conventional PV panels, which must be motorized to follow the arc of the sun. ElectraWall’s cylindrical design allows a generation period longer than normal PV systems. The cells will even generate at night from any light source, such as headlights, streetlights, etc. Our goal is to install ElectraWall units on the highway infrastructure.
The highway infrastructure is an ideal location to establish a national alternative energy system. With thousands of miles of highway barrier walls, the system can be put in place without the use of any additional land. The ElectraWall devices will be mounted to a conductor track that will be bolted onto the top of the barrier/sound walls.
ElectraWall’s ability to convert indirect light into electricity surpasses conventional flat panel cells. Its curved housing allows maximum sun exposure over the entire day. The versatile design allows this product to be applied to a wide variety of surfaces. As mentioned above, it is designed to clip on top of highway jersey/barrier walls, but it can also be easily installed onto parking garages, hand rails, sports stadiums, and more. The devices can be purpose built depending on how much electricity is needed.

 ElectraLights will be used in order to remove street, parking, and open area lights from the electrical grid. The ElectraLight product is a cylindrical photovoltaic module that will wrap around the light pole. Battery capacity is built into the ElectraLight product. The photovoltaics will charge the batteries to peak during the daylight hours, giving them power to run LED lights at night.
There are approximately 32,000 street lights owned and maintained by the State of Maryland. The majority of these lights are currently high pressure sodium bulbs. The average cost to maintain and operate these lights is approximately $146 per year per pole. A retrofit of the lights in the State to ElectraLights would reduce energy consumption in this area by a minimum of 80%.
ElectraLights are designed as follows:
- With our advanced energy management system the batteries are charged primarily by solar panels and can have an optional utility interconnect which charges batteries during extended low sunlight conditions.
- System requires minimal maintenance, is aesthetically pleasing and can be installed with no damage to existing infrastructures.
- New construction lights and new street lights utilizing ElectraLights can be installed without a utility interconnect.
We will market ElectraLights to State and Federal government entities, as well as commercial and industrial entities. ElectraLights can be custom built to fit any light pole, which expands our total available market.
