 EGL
Energy launched our innovative Renewable Energy
solution for the telecommunication industry
at the CommunicAsia 2007 in Singapore (19-22
June, Singapore Expo).
Known as the Ultra-Fi,
this wind-solar powered standalone wifi device,
jointly developed with Ultra Developments and
SkyPilot Networks. It is a self-sufficient,
easy-to-deploy wireless broadband network equipment
that allows network providers expand their service
with ease.
"The Ultra-Fi is powered by EGL Energy's
wind and solar hybrid power devices," say
EGL spokes person, Mr Ho. "Our renewable
energy solution elimates the need for costly
power cabling, making this a true wireless
network. Service providers can simply 'erect'
an Ultra-Fi at a chosen site to expand their
service coverage without worrying about power
cabling."
"We see big opportunities for our application
like in Hong Kong's US$27.84 million project
to setup wireless broadband service in public
areas," says Ho. "Our Ultra-Fi solution
will certainly benefit the wireless broadband
communitee if users are able to access the internet
in rural and public open areas."

The eco-conscientious residents of Sai Keng
village have recently completed a project to
show Hong Kong their way of saving energy when
developing their estate. It is hoped that their
contribution to energy saving will lead the
way forward for others in Hong Kong to follow.
The village engaged EGL Energy to install a
HL-55
wind-solar hybrid street light to provide
extra street lighting to some poorly-lit areas
in the village.
This extra lighting will improve security in
the village and is an ideal solution to lighting
areas where the government and electric companies
are reluctant to install extra street lighting.
Because it is a standalone system there is no
need to extend mains grid power via more trenches
over virgin land finished with the ubiquitous
covering of concrete.
The installation is now an icon for the village
attracting a lot of curious onlookers. It is
situated in Three Fathoms Cove region where
there are national parks and fisheries. The
site itself has some breath taking views of
mountains and sea. Sai Keng Village is situated
on Sai Sha Road between Sai Kung town and Ma
On Shan.
To get there from Sai Kung take the KMB No.
299 bus towards Shatin, or the No. 99 towards
Wu Kai Sha station. From KCR University station,
take the 807B green mini bus.
Residents and motorists in Sai Kung town, Hong
Kong, can now enjoy a brighter and safer road.
EGL Energy completed their installation of a
HL-35
wind-solar hybrid street light near the
new bus terminus and police station junction.
The installation is raising local public awareness
on the subject of renewable energy and is reflected
by enquiries received since commissioning of
the system.
The street light is a standalone system running
exclusively on renewable energy. The system
is ideal for lighting large private areas such
as factories where night time security is an
issue. They can also be adapted and designed
to be more aesthetically pleasing for applications
such as gardens and private compounds. All without
the need to install comprehensive mains grid
wiring and the recurrent electricity bills associated
with it.
 EGL
Energy is proud to be selected and featured
in the special "Earthy Issues" for eco-products
in the April 2007 edition of Hong Kong Enterprise.
Hong Kong Enterprise is the flagship product
magazine of the Hong Kong Trade Development
Council, which has been showcasing the best
of Hong Kong products since 1967.
The Eco-product editorial featured green power
conscientious Hong Kong manufacturers and their
environmentally friendly products. EGL Energy's
granite
solar garden lights won many other due to
its innovative and aesthetic design. Click

In addition to current HL-35 and HL-55 wind-solar
hybrid street light models, EGL Energy has introduced
two more models using Philips SOX-E low pressure
sodium lamps. These new models are the HL-66
and HL-91.
Compared with SOX lamps, the SOX-E lamps have
reduced heat losses and hence an even higher
lamp efficacy, a better lumen maintenance and
lamp life. HL-91 comes with a 400W or 600W wind
turbine option.
EGL Energy developed PV Positioner, an online
guide tool to help worldwide PV installers optimise their
solar energy farming efficiencies.
EGL Energy Solux series photovoltaic modules
received CE certification. EGL
Solux is a comprehensive suite of single-crystalline
and multi-crystalline photovoltaic cell modules
available to charge 12 or 24 Vdc batteries.
Solux photovoltaic cells are used in various
EGL Energy solar energy products such as Wind-Solar
Hybrid Street Light and CCTV system, solar street
and garden lights, and solar billboard and navigational
lights.
