Solar Project Overview

Solar-powered street lighting rollout across Carrick Creagh suburbs, replacing grid-dependent poles.

Outcome: 100% reduction in grid electricity use for street lighting; 80% lower maintenance costs; improved public safety ratings by 65% in local surveys.

Problems Solved

  • Enhance public safety with well-lit streets, reducing crime and pedestrian accidents
  • Cut municipal electricity costs by eliminating grid dependency for streetlights
  • Ensure reliable lighting even during load-shedding or grid failures
  • Lower maintenance costs with durable, self-contained solar LED poles

Full Case Study

We retrofitted 34 streetlight poles with self-contained solar LED units. Each pole has a battery and charge controller sized for 12+ hours of runtime. Motion sensors dim lights during low-traffic hours to save power, extending battery life.
