Sunna Design, the French technological leader for smart and connected standalone solar solutions, recently announced the acquisition of SOL Inc., the pioneer and undisputed leader of solar lighting in North America and one of Orion Solar's major suppliers. With this acquisition, Orion now represents the leader in the global market for smart and connected standalone solar solutions.
An example of one of the new products is Sunna's RISE-On solar platform, which incorporates a number of functions, as shown in the diagram below. 
The product was developed in cooperation with a local bench manufacturer for the city of Saint Etienne in France on the occasion of an industrial design contest and is installed in the main station esplanade of the city. The lighting is activated by a motion sensor and includes CCTV capability, environmental sensors, an advertising board, a WIFI hotspot and a USB charging station.
The RISE-On range is a fully industrialised solar generator, integrating smart electronics, energy management and communications software for remote supervision and monitoring. Easy to install for a variety of applications and built-in reliability assures continuous availability 365 days a year. Orion is now offering this solar generator in Australia and inviting enquiries from anyone requiring remote power for use in public spaces or remote areas. 
Orion Solar has been supplying solar-powered lighting solutions for local government, mining, aviation and marine applications throughout Australia and the South Pacific region since 2004. Anywhere that the electrical grid is unreliable, unavailable or expensive to access, provides an opportunity for a solar-powered lighting solution.
Now, with the RISE-On solar generator, the same conditions apply to any other electrical device which requires similar energy to street lighting.
All of Orion’s products are assembled in Australia with Australian poles and accessories, and use high-quality US and European imported materials to provide the most competitive lifetime cost.
