Your Project Requirements • Application • Lighting standards • Lighting scenario (dimming) • Ecosystem
Our Mission Provide you with reliable, high quality solar lighting solutions Our approach to solar lighting solutions prioritises technical precision and reliability. Through comprehensive feasibility studies, we ensure that each installation meets the unique needs of each project and provides long-term, sustainable lighting.
Site analysis and solar potential • PVGIS data for accurate solar history and insolation • Solar autonomy study based on the least favourable day (e.g. longest night of the year) • Panel tilting and azimuth angle based on the project’s hemisphere and location

• Lighting study to ensure compliance with international standards (SANS 10098, CIE 140) • Dimming scenario to optimise power usage
Studies and calculations
3
Battery • Battery capacity to ensure adequate backup • Dimming scenario with/without sensors to avoid over-dimensioning the system
Before we begin, our engineers assess the project site, evaluating the annual solar irradiation and local environmental factors. This information is used to determine the correct size of solar panel and battery to ensure year-round functionality. We calculate the battery capacity based on the lighting output, the desired autonomy and the efficiency of the overall system.
Dimensioning and setup
Solar panel • Size, tilt and azimuth for optimal performance • Sunlight data and dimming scenario to avoid oversizing

Once dimensioning is complete, we assess and design the complete mechanical structure to withstand environmental conditions such as wind and weather. We adhere to strict mechanical standards and oversize the masts to ensure the durability of the lighting over the years. Each installation is carefully planned, including cable sizing and connection optimisation to ensure energy efficiency throughout the system.
Mechanical • Pole selection for durability, following SANS 10225 standards • Mounting method according to the area/ customer preferences
