Project Overview
KASN, a leader in sustainable energy solutions, successfully installed 105 solar-powered streetlights across Pattaya, Thailand, in collaboration with the Pattaya City Administration. This initiative aimed to enhance public safety, reduce energy costs, and support Thailand’s national goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Case Details
Key Challenges
- Energy Dependency: Pattaya’s coastal roads relied on unstable grid power, leading to frequent outages.
- Environmental Impact: Traditional streetlights contributed to CO₂ emissions and light pollution.
- Maintenance Costs: High humidity and salt corrosion shortened equipment lifespan.
KASN Solution
Deploying AI-integrated solar streetlights with the following innovations:
- High-Efficiency Panels: 400W monocrystalline modules, achieving 23% energy conversion even in overcast conditions.
- Smart Control System:
- Motion sensors adjust brightness (30-100%) based on pedestrian/vehicle activity.
- Remote monitoring via IoT dashboard for real-time fault detection.
- Corrosion-Resistant Design:
- Aluminum alloy bodies with IP68 waterproofing.
- Salt-spray-tested components for coastal durability.
Results
- Energy Savings:
- Annual reduction of 62,000 kWh grid power consumption.
- Equivalent to planting 1,200 trees in CO₂ offset (35 tons/year).
- Cost Efficiency:
- 60% lower maintenance costs compared to conventional systems.
- ROI achieved within 3.2 years due to zero electricity bills.
- Community Impact:
- 24/7 illumination boosted nighttime safety on Beach Road and Walking Street.
- Local technicians trained in solar system maintenance, creating 12+ green jobs.
Technology Highlights
- KASN PowerCloud™: Cloud-based energy storage optimization, ensuring 3+ days of backup power.
- Modular Design: Easy expansion for future smart city integrations (e.g., EV charging ports).
Client Testimonial
"KASN’s solar streetlights transformed Pattaya’s infrastructure. Their hybrid power management and rugged design perfectly suit our tropical climate. We’re now exploring solar-powered CCTV partnerships with KASN."
— Mr. Sutham Petchket, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya
Future Roadmap
KASN plans to deploy 500+ units across Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) industrial zones by 2025, aligning with Thailand’s Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) Economy Model.
