The true power of independence
If LED devices are on the lighting design frontier, then solar lighting
with self-contained batteries is definitely a push beyond. Philips Hadco has
partnered with SolarOne® in our quest to go “green” by introducing
the capability of refitting our post-top fixtures with solar/LED capabilities.
The benefits of such design greatly increase the efficiency of our
LED products while also increasing the cost savings for you.
Our solar-powered lighting can be installed anywhere and across any
amount of space. No wires. No trenching. No additional transformer installations.
The solar panels are internally connected to batteries and an electronic
management system that regulates output regardless of weather conditions.
Each system is self-sufficient and can be installed quickly.
Like our traditionally wired LED fixtures, the solar-powered lamps
are not only nearly maintenance-free but also environmentally friendly.
One lamppost offsets the estimated two tons of greenhouse gases typically
produced each year by the average lamp. And solar power provides peace
of mind in a world with growing security concerns. Power failures, disasters
and emergencies do not affect solar-powered lighting. Your lighting
will remain as reliable as the sun rising and setting.
While society continues to progress, the need for power dramatically
increases. This growth puts pressure on not only our resources themselves,
but also on the infrastructure that supports our globalization. With
solar-powered lighting, your project removes some of that stress and
works toward becoming a self-reliant entity. From pathways to playgrounds,
campuses to parking lots and every place in between, there really is
no more efficient way to keep the lights on while going off the electrical
grid than with LED/solar technology from Philips Hadco.
Philips Hadco and SolarOne® transform the
power of the sun into attractive, simple, effective and reliable
off-grid lighting solutions.
Patent pending SO-Bright™
technology is the world’s most advanced lighting
and control technology for autonomous solar lighting
systems. It features the highest efficiency constant-current
driver circuitry, and the state-of-the-art SO-Bright™ Lighting
Controller.
Philips Hadco and SolarOne® solar lighting
systems operate independent of the electric grid, relying only on the
sun for power. This ensures that the luminaires will remain lit, even
during grid-connected power shortages. The independent power source also
allows for flexibility in location and easy installation, without
incurring significant expenses in trenching and repaving.
Rather than basing our system recommendations on
average conditions, our systems are based on the shortest day and
longest night (i.e. minimum solar resource). This ensures that your
system will be sized to provide reliable performance all year long.
