Why LightEye

Low cost enables multi-sensor LiDAR deployments and entirely new markets.

Today

Few expensive sensors

High unit costs restrict deployment to a handful of sites. Coverage stays sparse, and the full potential of wind measurement goes unrealized.

Limited coverage
LightEye

Many affordable sensors

Affordable lidars unlock dense deployments across wind farms, airports, cities, and remote terrain — turning isolated measurements into a continuous picture of the atmosphere.

Dense coverage
Validation

LightEye, measured against Vaisala's WindCube Scan 100S.

LightEye versus Vaisala WindCube Scan 100S comparison plot

Preliminary side-by-side measurements show LightEye has strong agreement with the Vaisala WindCube Scan 100S within the common measurement range.

Pilots

Measure with LightEye.

LightEye is looking for customers and partners for field deployments, validation campaigns, and new applications. Current target system pricing starts around CHF 15,000; pilot campaigns are quoted separately.
