Solar street lights have been available for quite a time now, having originally been designed for use in less developed or isolated areas, or perhaps places where the electricity supply has been disrupted by man-made or natural disasters. The technology guiding the use of solar energy has progressed significantly to enable projects to be feasible throughout the world. The situation now is that street lights powered by solar energy can be simply and rapidly installed, giving the potential of many years of trustworthy use, with a minimum of maintenance.

In these times of heightened environmental awareness, electric street lighting is rightly regarded as an enormous consumer of electricity, at a vast financial and environmental cost. However, because of the road safety and security benefits which result from a good street lighting system, authorities everywhere are keen to implement cost-effective and environmentally friendly lights. Solar street lights can deliver that much-desired outcome and offer an exceptional lighting program whilst, at the same time, producing considerable economic and environmental savings.
Solar street lighting can be used not only on streets, boulevards and highways but can also provide cost-effective, environmentally friendly lighting for both military and civilian security installations; park areas or parking spaces; airports, docks and similar areas or, indeed, for whole communities.

• The day to day running and maintenance costs are slashed
• There is a positive environmental impact as opposed to a
  negative one
• The lack of wiring to be installed minimizes the disruption
  caused to, for example, road users during installation
• Power outages have no impact whatsoever on street lighting
  in the area
• Solar street lights can be easily erected in almost all locations
