Our Solar Streetlight

Solar streetlights work by using daylight to charge the battery cells built into the light unit. When night falls the lights automatically come on using energy charged into the batteries in the daytime. There is no requirement for any mains electricity to be wired to the lighting columns.

Solar streetlights require no mains electricity, the saving on installation is vast as costly groundwork to lay mains cables is not required. Once installed there are no running costs associated with the solar units.

Yes, Vivid Solar streetlights work all year round even in the Northern Hemisphere. The light units have been designed and developed for the UK market and the large solar panels and high-capacity batteries enable the light units to work through the winter months. Vivid Solar streetlights have been tried and tested to work in the UK.

The LED light source and LiFePO4 battery are designed to provide reliable, long-lasting performance. The modular design also allows key components to be maintained or replaced when required.

Vivid Solar streetlights can be programmed to suit different requirements, with adjustable lighting parameters, PIR motion sensor control and timer functionality.

Solar streetlights can be installed in one step, no need to dig trenches, lay cables and backfill, so there is a considerable saving on the initial installation. There is no need to increase power capacity in the area either. Once installed, Vivid Solar streetlights have no running costs.

The light units are fitted with dusk-to-dawn sensors so they only operate when night falls.

We recommend that the solar panels are cleaned and battery units checked annually. We can offer a service agreement to carry this out.

One of the main advantages of solar streetlights is that they can be fitted anywhere, from roads to parks, farms to marinas; the list is endless. We offer a roof mount fitting and a surface mount unit.
