Smart Indoor Lighting
- The most customizable solar solution for road and urban applications
We have observed areas on our national and urban roads / streets without any lighting. Since we view these roads as significant, we strongly recommend instead of increasing capacity through Grid Street lighting, an installation of powerful, intelligent and eco-friendly solar off-grid street lighting solutions.
Our solar street light for outdoor residential and public applications gives utilities a full customizable option to suit all the utility’s off-grid solar lighting requirements and provides a reliable lighting solution with a high Ingress Protection level that withstands high ambient temperatures and vandalism. These luminaires are a sustainable off-grid performer with a superior lumen/watt ratio. The photovoltaic energy conversion is optimized by efficient Polycrystalline solar module technology to maximise solar energy. This in turn offers the best energy storage options and autonomy available on the market with our OEM’s wide range of battery options, namely: –
- Lead;
- Lithium; and
- The new SuperCapacitor.
This SuperCapacitor removes the depth of discharge (DOD) issues, and furthermore offers extended life and discharge cycles. Controlling the whole system and using this solar energy by programming
the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers, protects and optimizes the system from any internal and external factors, like thermal environmental changes when charging the batteries.
The solar lighting permits offers a renewable lighting solution to operate in any of our very challenging African environmental conditions to get public lighting thanks to photovoltaic energy production. This solution has several advantages, such as: –
- Compared to a streetlight connected to the grid, the installation of a solar streetlight does not require civil engineering; the installation is therefore much easier, faster and most of all more economically viable.
- The electricity bill drops to 0.00 and the System is100% autonomous. The only solar energy produced by the PV panel is used to power the solar streetlight.
- The installation of ten solar streetlights permits to avoid the emission of more than one ton of CO2 per year.
- Solar lighting poses no risk of electric shock. The system is working in continuous current (24VDC TBT), so there is no electrical handling necessary for the installation.
- The several components have a long life, with a first maintenance only after ten years, with the shift of the battery.
- It is possible to perform all the lighting profiles with a solar streetlight (dimming during the night, extinction of the streetlight…).
- It is possible to communicate with the solar streetlights in order to know remotely and in real time their operating state and monitor their impact on the project.
- Designed to operate reliably at a high light output over a 12 to 14 hour period
- It has sufficient autonomy to cater for up to four continuous overcast or rainy days, to continue its reliable night operation
- Integrated solar components
- Theft and vandal resistant
- Specifically engineered for all geographical locations in Africa
- Various battery technologies available to meet specific customer requirements
