Around the world, Sol has been helping utility companies make the switch to solar-powered lighting. Whether they’re tired of relying on the aging grid, increasing costs or shaky performance, there are plenty of reasons to make the switch.
With traditional electric lighting connected to the grid, installation is no easy task. It’s also expensive. That’s because special trenches need to be dug in order for the fixture to be installed and then wired up to the grid. You’ll need to have an electrician on hand, along with some heavy machinery and an operator.
With solar-powered lighting, installation is a breeze. There’s no need to dig destructive holes or tear up the environment to install a fixture. Each light can be installed in 30 minutes without an electrician, special machinery or skills. It comes together like furniture shipped to your house. Then simply download our app to connect your fixtures – it’s really that easy.
This simple installation process leads to huge savings when compared with traditional electric lighting. But the cost-effectiveness of solar lighting doesn’t stop once the fixture is turned on. There’s more money to be saved when it comes to usage and maintenance. Plus, our guaranteed 10 year warranty comes included with every product, which includes the life of the battery.
As a utility company providing power to thousands of people, grid overload is a serious issue worth considering. The grid isn’t getting any younger, and it continues to grow weaker as the electrical demand grows.
By going solar, you can help reduce the load on the electrical grid and make the power supply slightly more reliable for other customers. Plus, our solar lights emit zero carbon emissions!
If you and your customers are looking for the most reliable option for outdoor lighting, solar is your answer. Nothing on the market can beat solar lighting – it’s that simple. While traditional, grid connected lighting falters during bad weather and when the grid is overloaded, solar keeps going.
Sol outdoor lighting is built to withstand not only extreme heat and cold, but Category 5 hurricanes. Plus, if there is ever an issue, you won’t have to wait for traditional maintenance crews to hit the scene. Our cloud-based remote monitoring alerts and local wireless diagnostics make troubleshooting and maintenance quick and painless.
The future is off the grid.
Electric street lights can be a source of frustration for utilities, as companies can take weeks or even months to deliver and repair them. By switching to solar-powered lights, utilities can achieve true resilience. Even during natural disasters, solar lights can continue to function, providing a reliable source of safety and security for the community.
Solar lighting solutions offer complete layout flexibility, making them an ideal choice for utilities looking for lighting solutions that can be customized to their specific needs. Unlike traditional lighting infrastructure, solar lighting solutions do not require a complex network of cables and power sources, allowing them to be installed virtually anywhere.
Utilities are under increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and adopt sustainable practices. Solar lighting solutions offer a zero-carbon emissions option, making them an ideal choice for utilities looking to reduce their environmental impact.
Your utility company could save a small fortune by switching from tradition, grid-connected lighting to solar lighting. Solar lighting is easily the more cost effective option. Installation costs are minimal, as nothing needs to be dug or trenched. No monthly electricity costs!
