Solar Lighting

Why Solar Lighting?

• NEVER have an Electric Bill
• Lower Maintenance Cost
• Reduce your Carbon Footprint
• Show a Visible Commitment to Sustainable Design
• Avoid the Traditional Costs of Trenching, Conduit, Wire, and an Electric Bill

Lighting Powered by the Sun

Off-grid solar lighting systems are the Reliable, Renewable, and Remarkable way to light an outdoor space. Whether to enhance security, improve safety or create visibility, solar powered lighting is an economic and green choice for your parking lot, roadway, path, bike trail, billboard, sign, pavilion, bus stop, or fence line.

Solar lighting systems are often the most economic way to provide light. By avoiding costs of trenching, underground wiring, and connections to the electrical grid, solar lighting systems achieve grid parity since they are a renewable energy technology that is deployed at a cost lower than traditionally powered systems.

Benefits of Solar Lighting

• Easy to install since lights arrive as a complete system
• Fast start up as each system is pre-programmed at the factory for desired operating mode and light fixture output
• Quality assured with lights 100% function tested and inspected
• Safe and simple to work with because the lights are all low voltage and require minimal field wiring

How Does Solar Lighting Work?

A solar panel converts light to electricity. During the day, even on cloudy days, the solar panel charges long-life batteries which store the energy until needed.

The system incorporates sophisticated proprietary charge regulators which stop the flow of solar generated electricity when the batteries are fully charged and then resume charging when more power is needed.

The key to solar outdoor lighting is the solar power pack which houses photovoltaic solar panels, a proprietary microprocessor control system and batteries. It attaches specifically designed lights that have super reflectivity and high-energy ballasts.

How Dependable is Solar Power Lighting?

Very dependable! For one thing, it is never too cloudy to collect solar energy. In fact, if there is enough sunlight to see reasonably well, then there is enough to collect and store energy… even if its raining or foggy. The system is typically designed with enough energy to operate five or more consecutive days without sun.

Further, solar powered lighting is virtually maintenance free since the batteries do not require water or other service. The solar panel itself is backed by a 20-25 year warranty and our new LEDs will last at least 100,000 hours (or 22.5 years).
