The Advantages of Solar Roadway Lighting

Roadway lighting is an integral part of our landscape. Not only do they make roads safer for pedestrians and drivers, but they also help communities save energy costs, particularly if they’re solar-powered. Greenshine’s solar LED roadway lighting, in particular, is extremely cost-effective, easy to install, and doesn’t require any monthly fees for electricity usage.

Read on to learn more about Greenshine solar roadway lighting advantages, features, and technology.

‌

What are the advantages of solar roadway lighting?

LED road lights offer significant advantages by lighting roads to ensure vehicle and pedestrian safety. However, traditional (electric or non-solar) roadway lighting can be prohibitively expensive. This is because standard practice requires roadway lighting systems to provide lighting for the maximum vehicle and pedestrian volume, regardless of real-time roadway usage or actual roadway conditions.

‌

Fortunately, Greenshine offers a cost-effective way to light up roads at night. We provide up-to-date, tailor-made solar highway road lights that are:

• Virtually maintenance-free

• Flexible: Light up dark alleys, roads, and other parts of cities and towns.

• Environmentally-friendly: Our solar lights have a minimal carbon footprint, don't use fossil fuels, and are incredibly clean.

• Autonomous: our solar lights won’t go out when the power goes out.

• Cost-effective: Our solar light systems don’t require monthly fees for electricity.

• Easy to install: Even if you’re too far away from the power grid, you can still use our solar lights.

• Don’t require trenching: Traditional roadway lighting requires “trenching,” which is the removal of large portions of soil to connect to the power grid, but our lights don’t require this at all. This means you won’t have to waste money on trenching or change anything about your property.

• Composed of top-notch materials that can last up to several years

LED Roadway Lighting

Greenshine’s lighting solutions stand out from our competitors because we offer three state-of-the-art solar light systems:

• Supera (for medium to large areas, such as parking lots and highways)

• Brighta (for long, narrow areas like pathways and streets)

• Lumina (for corporate complexes, streets, bicycle lanes, and parks)

‌

Designed to light roadways, parking lots, and more, our roadway lights come equipped with high-quality Cree LEDs combined with solar panels, our solar roadway lights can light up narrow and wide areas as well as withstand all types of weather conditions.

‌

Our solar lights also have the following features:

• Top-notch, solar-powered roadway lighting that stands on its own as a fully autonomous system, which allows you to avoid sky-high electrical infrastructure fees.

• Our solar-powered lighting systems were created, sourced, installed, and assembled in the United States. They work in all regions, including cloudy and rainy places like the Pacific Northwest.

• Full and limited warranty options to protect your investment.

• A wide range of certified fixtures ranging from Dark Sky to FWC certified fixtures. We also offer turtle-friendly lighting that utilizes long-wavelength light.

• Galvanized, powder-coated, hot-dipped steel poles that can last up to 50 years, which make our lights a worthy investment for cities, parks, schools, reserves, and more.

• Customization. Our lights can be fully customized depending on your goals, the environment, sunlight duration in your area, and temperature.

• Extras such as our Bluetooth Greenshine Connect app, which allows you to set varying brightness levels and lighting programs with just your mobile phone. You’ll also be able to activate and control your lights as one group or various groups and adjust lighting settings according to the weather.

‌

Highway Lighting Technology

Our lights are cost-effective, high-tech, and easy to use. Plus, they come equipped with powerful features, such as solar street light batteries, photovoltaic solar panels, galvanized steel poles, and powerful controllers.

‌

Solar Street Light Batteries

Greenshine’s roadway lighting, like all of our other products, runs on deep-cycle gel acid batteries. Designed to last five days of autonomy, these batteries will keep the roadway lights on even during the darkest weeks.

‌

What’s more, you only have to change the batteries once every seven years. The batteries also come with many options for placement, such as placing it lower for ease of access and stability or higher for shorter electrical pathways. You also have the option to bury the batteries to ensure higher security, better protection from the elements, and cleaner presentation.

‌

Photovoltaic Solar Panels

Our roadway lights also stand out for their photovoltaic (PV) panels, which boast the following features:

• Utilization of Greenshine Smart Power Technology, which uses special components to deliver just the right amount of electricity to the LED road light and battery as needed.

• Tough, uniquely designed aluminum frames that can withstand strong winds.

• Resistant tempered glass

• Multi-layered EVA encapsulation with three-layer back sheet

• PV panels are made of 99.9% monocrystalline silicon, which can:

• Provide at minimum five percent performance over other technologies

• Absorb high levels of solar power through absorbing photons (units of light) from the sun

‌

What’s more, our panels come with a 25-year power output warranty.

‌

Galvanized Steel Poles

Greenshine roadway lights come with substantial, beefy galvanized steel poles that can withstand destructive natural forces such as hurricane winds and storms. This makes them a great return for your investment since they can withstand all weather conditions and resist strong impact.

‌

If you’re worried about traffic collisions, we can also add breakaway bases to the lights as needed.

‌

Controllers

Another one of Greenshine roadway lights’ standout features is our controller, which has:

• Temperature compensation

• Customization by Greenshine to fit your needs

• Easy installation

• Four-stage battery charging, with main, float, boost, and equalization stages

• The ability to create a dimming effect that fits with various lighting purposes

• An automatic system voltage recognition (12V/24V)

• Corrosion-proof epoxy-encapsulated PCB (IP68)
