Self-Contained Street Lighting Kit Using Photovoltaic Solar Energy
Our range of public lighting systems now includes the "self-contained photovoltaic street lighting
kit." The photovoltaic kit is designed for lighting in parking lots, roads, public gardens, parks and
wherever it is uneconomical to install conventional lighting systems. It is particularly advantageous where
limitations of an environmental type, safety reasons, areas where there are thoroughfares, railway or
motorway crossings would make it extremely costly to build cable ducts for connection to the electricity main.
General Specifications
- Requires no power from the electricity main, thus each pole is self-contained and does not need to be
physically connected to the others;
- The energy is exclusively produced from the sunlight, which is stored during the day and drawn upon
at night;
- Operators are not required as, once programmed, the electronic control unit turns the lamps on and
off (the control unit is required for the model with the SOX lamp while it is included in the LED board
in models with the LED lamp);
- The system is extremely reliable as it is constructed solely from solid-state components. A fault in an
individual pole will not affect another.
Which Solution to Use
The following parameters must be considered when choosing the right photovoltaic solar kit:
- Period in which there is the least sunlight (June, NSW, 3.63 hours/day).
- Period of most sunlight (December).
- The energy production in relation to the place in which the kit is installed.
- The amount of energy consumed by the various different components.
- Number of days the KIT remains operational without sun.
