SIARQ, a Spanish startup with more than two decades of experience in connected urban lighting solutions, launched the Solar Hub. These are smart streetlights, powered by solar energy , that illuminate the streets efficiently and also act as a real-time environmental monitoring station, contributing to the sustainability of cities.
Solar street lights with environmental monitoring
The Solar Hub replaces traditional streetlights by incorporating energy-efficient LED technology, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint of urban infrastructure. Thanks to its innovative design with parabolic solar modules, the Solar Hub allows the integration of renewable energy into street furniture, achieving a reduction of up to 1.5 tons of CO₂ per year per unit.
One of the strengths of this device is its ability to perform continuous environmental monitoring using integrated IoT sensors , which collect data on air quality, traffic and noise levels. This data is transmitted to the Urban Brain platform , where it is analyzed in real time to make more informed urban planning decisions.
With this technology, cities can implement immediate corrective measures, such as restricting traffic in polluted areas, thereby improving the quality of life of citizens.
Social and economic impact
In addition to the environmental benefits, the Solar Hub also offers added value to citizens, such as the possibility of recharging electronic devices for free. In the long term, the implementation of this technology could generate significant economic savings for cities by reducing energy and maintenance costs for urban infrastructure.
The next phase of the Solar Hub will include new functionalities such as chargers for light electric vehicles and compatibility with 5G networks, consolidating its role in the transition towards the cities of the future.
