Solar Lighting
The sun has stood as Earth’s paramount energy source at the centre of our solar system. Despite its utility throughout human history, harnessing its potential in the modern era has not been easy. Converting solar energy into electricity requires a solar cell, also called a photovolaic cell, an electronic device which captures light radiation and converts it into electricity.
PV cell technology, battery storage, and lower manufacturing costs, have enabled wider applications of solar technology – including solar lighting.
What is Solar Lighting?
Exterior luminaires integrated with photovoltaic cells capture solar energy during the day. This solar energy converted to electricity is stored in batteries which power the luminaires at night. Under ideal conditions each luminaire can generate its own electricity and does not require external power.
What we offer
LIGMAN offer a range of solar lighting solutions, including both solar integrated luminiaires and PV poles.
PRODUCT
Designed from the ground up with solar integration at the heart of the design, solar integrated bollards are the next generation of bollard lighting. Safely illuminate public parks and landscaped gardens without the need for cabling or a grid connection.
Takes the latest in LED technology and photovoltaic panels and re-imagines a post-top for the 21st Century. Featuring sleek modern housing, integrated motion and sunlight sensors, solar charging, and programmable dimming. Solar integrated post tops are the answer to sustainable pedestrian area lighting.
Combines different, typically separate elements, into one multifunctional unit. Benches feature integrated photovoltaic panels which generate power for the under-bench RGB lighting, as well as USB and wireless charging points. Servicing the evolving needs of the modern urban environment.
Enable discrete use of photo voltaic technology with existing pole mounted luminaires. Vertical Solar PV Poles
can be specificed in place of regular poles for exterior lighting solutions using solar lighting technology.
TECHNOLOGY
As solar lighting generates its own electricity from the sun, do solar lighting solutions require external power?
There are two options when it comes to solar lighting: hybrid and off-grid solar lighting.
Hybrid solar lighting combines solar generated electricity with backup power from the grid. In this way the solar lighting solution benefits from the savings of generating its own electricity. But can also fall back on the electricity grid during extended periods of limited solar exposure. This solution suits locations further from the equator which experience shorter days in winter.
