Solar Lights for Municipalities

Solar lighting is a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative for municipal properties, including parks, public transportation stations, parking areas, and police and fire department properties. 

You can immediately improve the environmental footprint of your city while increasing security and safety in public spaces with solar lights for municipalities. Solar lights also help you improve the design of your lighting systems.‌

This guide will cover the key advantages of solar lighting for your city, what to remember when implementing a new solar lighting system, common solar lighting applications, and how Greenshine New Energy is the right partner to meet your solar needs. 

It is essential for city planners and government agencies to update and enhance lighting systems in public spaces to increase security, whether in parking lots, parks, government building perimeters, and other locations throughout the city. 

Solar lighting from Greenshine New Energy is one of the best options in the USA for publicly-owned entities because of these key advantages of solar lighting systems: 

Save Your City Money with Solar Lighting

Solar lighting is cost-effective because it relies on a natural, renewable resource for power. Using the sun’s energy means businesses can save thousands because lights don’t have to be connected to the power grid at all. This significantly lowers installation costs since there are no wiring or trenching fees.

Another area of savings is the complete elimination of monthly energy bills. Solar power is free and doesn’t require underground electricity. Also, make sure you learn about potential incentives and tax breaks for using renewable energy that could be available in your area, saving you even more on these costs.

Safety and Security with Bright Solar Lights

Another major benefit of solar lighting is that it is self-sustaining and works even if there’s a power outage in your city. This improves security and safety for your community because you can always depend on these lights to operate.

Reduce Your Town’s Environmental Impact‌

Reducing your use of electrical systems means you’re making significant strides for the environment. You don’t have to interfere with the ecosystem with digging or installation, and your city’s carbon footprint will be significantly reduced.

Aesthetic Improvements

Solar lighting designs can be eye-catching and appealing. Solutions from Greenshine New Energy, for example, give you options so you can customize how your lights look for each public area in your municipality. Solar lighting can become a crucial part of your design planning for parks and other public spaces.

Operate During Blackouts and Natural Disasters

Blackouts and natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes can wipe out electricity and thus eliminate public lighting in an instant. 

With solar lights, your lighting system will still work even if your city falls victim to one of these disasters. Our Emergency Relief Program ensures that communities have the security of lighting they need when the worst happens.

Key Considerations When Implementing Solar Lighting Systems

Now, you know the most important benefits of solar lighting for your municipality, but how do you start? You first need to plan all the details about your new system, including these important solar lighting considerations:

• Purpose: What is your primary goal and why do you need solar lights in your city?

• Location: Where will you be installing solar lighting?

• Size of the area: How big is the area at hand? How many lights are needed in each public location?

• Time of day: When do you need lights to be on? For how long?

• Brightness: Do you need continuous brightness, or can lights be dimmed? Are any other light sources present in the area that impact brightness needs?

• Budget: What can your city spend on the project? Do you qualify for any incentives or credits?

• Timeline: When do you need your solar lighting solution to be implemented?
