Smart Cities
Powering the sensors that make cities smarter — without wires, without maintenance, without limits.

Smart Parking & Traffic Management
Modern smart city infrastructure depends on dense networks of sensors monitoring everything from parking availability to air quality. Lightricity’s high-efficiency ambient-light PV harvesters make it possible to deploy those sensors anywhere — permanently self-powered by the light already present in the environment.
Lightricity can enable a new generation of maintenance-free smart parking and traffic control systems. Self-powered sensors detecting vehicle occupancy in real time and sending data wirelessly via LoRa or BLE can eliminate the need for battery replacements or cabling across entire car parks and road networks. Contact Lightricity to discuss scalable, fit-and-forget solutions that can keep cities moving with no ongoing maintenance overhead.
Environmental Monitoring Across the City
From waste water and drinking water to air quality, noise pollution, and energy management, smart cities require continuous, city-wide sensing. Lightricity’s robust PV harvesters can power these sensors perpetually using only ambient light, enabling city-wide environmental monitoring networks that are easy to install and cost-effective to run at scale.
- Monitor multiple environmental parameters — air quality, noise, water, and waste — from a single self-powered platform
- Possible to deploy in hard-to-reach or infrastructure-constrained locations with no grid connection required
- Reduce the total cost of smart city sensor networks through elimination of maintenance visits
Technology Built for Smart Cities
Lightricity's indoor and ambient PV technology delivers a uniquely capable platform for smart city IoT deployments, combining world-class energy harvesting efficiency with practical, scalable engineering.
High-Efficiency Ambient PV
Lightricity’s PV cells are optimised to harvest energy from artificial and low-intensity ambient light, not just direct sunlight, delivering reliable power in the real-world environments where city sensors are deployed.
True Fit-and-Forget Operation
With no batteries to replace and no cables to run, sensors powered by Lightricity’s harvesters can be installed once and left to operate indefinitely, dramatically reducing the operational cost and complexity of large-scale smart city networks.
Flexible Wireless Connectivity
Lightricity-powered sensor nodes can integrate seamlessly with long and short-range wireless protocols, ensuring smart city data reaches management platforms reliably, whether across a multi-storey car park or a city-wide environmental monitoring network.
