More than 700 million people around the world still don’t have access to electricity. Lack of connection to the electrical network, high costs of setting up a traditional public lighting system, extreme weather conditions, the lighting of isolated areas is a challenge and must be considered in its specificities. With the widest and most reliable range of autonomous solar street lamps on the market, Sunna Design is able to provide a solution to each public lighting problem, taking into account the limitations and requirements of each project.
The public lighting issues of isolated sites differ from those of cities. Access to energy is not always obvious, as some of these territories are not connected to the electrical network or have terrain constraints that make it difficult to install a conventional public lighting system.
Solar lighting is an ideal solution for rural and remote areas. The use of a free and unlimited energy without grid connection allows to set up at a lower cost an efficient public lighting system. Entirely self-sufficient and easy to install, Sunna Design’s solar street lights adapt to any terrain. Guaranteed 10 years without maintenance, they are designed to resist extreme weather conditions as well as temperatures between -40°C and +70°C.
Choosing solar energy means opting for eco-responsible lighting in line with the objectives of the ecological transition. In certain isolated areas where kerosene lighting is still a reality, solar street lamps offer a lighting system without toxic emissions, improving air quality and the health of populations.
Sunna Design has already deployed thousands of solar solutions in rural and remote areas and particularly in Africa. Solar street lighting makes travel safer and strengthens social ties, develops local economy by allowing businesses to open later in the evening, and promotes geographical rebalancing by fighting rural exodus.
Between 2019 and 2021, in collaboration with Schneider Electric, and the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), over 130 Sunna Design’s iSSL Maxi Road solar streetlights were installed for a solar public lighting project in Tapachula, Mexico. This country faced two key challenges: a strained social context, partially related to migration flows, and […]
