The utility company adds a middle-man between your municipality and the power you need. What would happen if you took control and switched your lights to gridless power with solar lighting from Sol? Your community would be self-reliant, making you nimbler and more prepared for change as your city shifts and grows.
Learn about the benefits of self-reliant grid-less power:
As solar lighting efficiency improves, the cost continues to drop, while the cost of electricity from grid power continues to rise—about 4% per year on average over the last 10 years.
Partner with us: The new EverGen energy-saving street light is our most compact solar model to date—which further reduces costs for shipping, poles, and component parts—and is still the only system to meet IES light level requirements for the long term. Renewable power from the sun looks more appealing for a greater share of projects.

Some utility companies identify delays of several months for a standard light delivery. Get power to your customers faster by removing the middle-man from the equation.
Similarly, many cities indicate a delay of “several weeks” to fix street light outages that citizens report on city websites, especially if the utilities are investor-owned. Streamline your project build so you won’t have to rely on citizens for that information: you’ll know immediately when a street light is out and put the timeline in your hands.

Stay bright during emergencies or whenever power is cut by choosing gridless power. According to the US Energy Information Administration, municipal-owned utilities experience fewer blackouts on average than investor-owned utilities.
Partner with us: Switching your municipal-owned street lights to solar means you’ll avoid blackouts and brownouts altogether—in fact, your lights can light the way in an emergency, providing a sense of safety and security.
