Signify advocates the wide adoption of solar and hybrid
solar powered street lighting as it paves the way tolower carbon emissions
and reduces the needfor extra power stations, while
accelerating the scale of renewables.

There is a possibility for built-in Passive Infrared (PIR)
motion sensor. When no motion is detected the light level

decreases to 30%,

reducing energy consumption and increasing
battery backup.

Fact
Myth

There is not enough solar light in
my country for 365 nights.

Hybrid-solar technology uses cleansolar-powered electricity when
there is sunlight, and the mains
grid when there is not. Whereas in
off-grid systems it can be achieved
thanks to right sizing anddimming of the solar system.

Fact

Myth

Solar LED lighting is notreliable, nor durable.

Thanks to advanced technology, it’s possible for:
Up to 100,000 hours lifetime for LED lights;
Up to 25 years lifetime for PV panel;
Minimum of 10 years lifetime for
Li-ion and Fer-Pho batteries.

Myth

Fact

Solar lighting system is not suitablefor every area all year long.
I’m afraid of a blackout.

Myth

Because of the batteries andsolar panels used, solar energy
is not that green.

8Efficient photo voltaics, energy storage,
LED lighting and IoT technology allow solar
applications anywhere, anytime. You
shouldn’t be afraid of a blackout thanks
to battery technology improvements andcharge controllers.

Fact

Our batteries are super easy to recycle.
Newer battery technologies are moreenvironmentally friendly when comparedwith older ones. However it is recommended tofollow safe disposal norms.

How Solarlighting works

Off-grid and hybridsystems

The combo charge controller
switches on and off the lights andcharging. Thanks to the controller,
we avoid both overcharging andundercharging.

The solar panel alsoknown as a solar photovoltaic
cell absorbs the sunlight during
the day and transforms it into
electrical energy that gets stored
in the battery.

The pole offers security andstability, making the system safefor the surrounding area. As itmeets the EN40 norm, it can beinstalled in every geographicallocation.

The rechargeable battery
is a type of electrical battery oraccumulator. It stores the energy
received from the sun during
the day for when it gets dark. It canvary in size depending on
the climate conditions of
the current city.

10The LED luminaire offershassle-free installation andmaintenance, high lighting
output compared to conventional
luminaires, long shelf life, rovisionof portability and a two year
warranty. Last but not least,
it’s pollution-free.

When it gets dark , thelights turn on automaticallyconsuming the energy
gathered during the day andkeep the city bright and safe
all night long. Reusing energy
allows achieveing energy
savings of up to 100%.

Hybrid charging unit
+SPD box

The hybrid option
offers the possibility ofconnecting the solar lights
to the mains grid system. As
a result, in case it runs out ofbattery, it can be poweredby the grid. This option helps
countries with less sunshine
use solar
as well.

The off-grid option
uses only the rechargeable
battery which makes it fully
sustainable and highly efficientin terms of energy costs. This
option also gives opportunity
for off-the-grid communities
to live in a safer and better
environment with 24/7 accessto light.
