Capabilities
Field-deployed power
Applied Energy Systems
Custom-engineered solar-powered lighting and generation systems, built with the same precision as our optical work, for infrastructure that has to run unattended.
Engineered for unattended infrastructure
HIT designs solar-powered lighting and generation systems for sites where a technician isn’t coming back next week to check on things — the system has to run correctly on its own, in the field, for the long term.
The same precision discipline, applied to power
Applied energy work at HIT draws on the same engineering discipline behind our optical systems: it’s the same discipline behind every system we build, carried over from precision imaging to field-deployed power generation.
A track record in solar-powered generation
HIT has partnered with organizations including SolarSmart on solar-powered generation work, part of a broader domain of solar infrastructure projects the company has contributed to since 1992.
Frequently asked questions
- What kind of solar-powered systems does HIT build?
- HIT custom-engineers solar-powered lighting and generation systems for infrastructure that needs to run unattended in the field.
- Is HIT’s applied energy work connected to its optical engineering background?
- Yes. HIT applies the same precision engineering discipline used in its optical and imaging systems to the design of its solar-powered energy systems.
- What does “field-deployed power” mean?
- It refers to power systems, such as solar lighting and generation, that are installed on-site and expected to operate reliably without regular in-person maintenance.
