Solar lighting applications - White paper

IS THERE ENOUGH SUN IN YOUR AREA FOR SOLAR LIGHTING? Contrary to popular belief, the use of solar lighting is not limited to specific geographic locations or climates. Solar lighting solutions come in a variety of ranges designed to cover the specific needs of any region, regardless of its level of solar irradiance or climatic conditions. The key features of a resilient and high-performance product include: ● a battery capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures, ● an efficient cooling system to prevent the battery and electronic components from overheating, ● photovoltaic panels with a self-cleaning hydrophobic coating. In addition to offering equipment that is resistant to extreme temperatures, dust, or corrosion, solar lighting providers need to ensure they can deliver uninterrupted lighting service all year round. Advanced technology ensures optimal energy management, meaning street lights provide reliable lighting 365 nights a year throughout the world, in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 70°C.
