SOLAR Street Lighting
Discover the perfect blend of innovation and sustainability with our advanced solar street lighting systems. Designed to harness the power of the sun while offering the reliability of grid energy, our solar street lights deliver eco-friendly, cost-effective, and dependable lighting for public spaces, roadways, and commercial applications.
Key Benefits of Solar Street Lighting
Energy Efficiency
Solar street lights significantly reduce reliance on grid electricity, lowering operational costs and delivering long-term savings. In times of budget constraints, when traditional measures like turning off streetlights are considered, solar street lighting offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative. These systems provide continuous illumination, enhancing public safety without the financial strain.
Supporting Sustainability Targets
Local authorities are increasingly under pressure to meet ambitious carbon reduction targets. Adopting solar street lighting demonstrates a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, making significant progress towards reducing emissions while fostering greener communities.
How Does Solar Street Lighting Work?
Solar street lighting operates by capturing energy from the sun through photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on the column. During the day, these panels convert sunlight into electricity, which is stored in a rechargeable battery for use at night.
Automatic Operation
Equipped with light-sensitive sensors, solar street lights automatically switch on at dusk and off at dawn. This automation ensures efficient energy use and eliminates the need for manual intervention, making them ideal for public and commercial applications.
Consistent Lighting Performance
Our solar street lighting systems are designed to provide consistent illumination, even in challenging weather conditions. Advanced battery technologies and energy management systems ensure that stored power is used effectively, delivering reliable lighting throughout the night.
Cost-Effective and Sustainable
By utilising renewable solar energy, these systems eliminate the need for grid power, reducing electricity costs and carbon emissions. This makes solar street lighting an environmentally friendly and economically viable solution for illuminating roadways, pathways, and public spaces.
Reliable Performance
Solar Vision's vertical SOLAR WRAP® is at the pinnacle of modern solar technology for lighting. Our innovative design is the only way to guarantee more consistent charging, especially through winter months.
Other solar products in the market which are flat panels mounted to street lamps do not have the capability within daylight hours to charge a street light to a sufficient standard to provide lighting for an entire evening.
A vertical solar wrap assures benefits such as, no dust snow or leaves, minimal cleaning, higher chance of charging if the sun only shows in the morning vs a flat panel fixed on one angle, higher yield potentials, min 3 year warranty and aesthetically pleasing.
Easy Installations
A major advantage of Solar Vision’s solar street lights is their ease of installation, particularly when replacing or retrofitting existing street lighting systems. Unlike traditional lights that rely on extensive wiring or grid connections, solar street lights are self-contained units, reducing the need for complex groundwork. They can be seamlessly installed in existing setups with minimal effort and disruption, making the transition to sustainable lighting straightforward and cost-effective. This streamlined process ensures a quicker path to energy-efficient and environmentally friendly illumination.
