Renewable Lighting Case Study:
Red Rock Developments
Colite Technologies and Red Rock Developments have partnered to install 24 solar-powered renewable lighting systems at the Sandy Run Industrial Park in Sandy Run, SC in Calhoun County.
Project Overview
The solar-powered renewable lighting systems provide necessary lighting along 15th Street for the safety and security of the park while simultaneously upgrading the presentation of the property. These systems combine a durable steel structure with a monocrystalline PV panel, LED light fixtures, and maintenance-free batteries to create a dependable and elegant addition to the property.
These sleek units are completely off-grid, generating all of their electricity from the sun, and incorporate battery storage to ensure reliable operation throughout the night. Benefits of these systems include:
- No extension of the grid
- No trenching, underground conduit or wiring
- No monthly utility energy costs
- Low maintenance costs
- Smart sensors that optimize energy usage
- Remote monitoring capabilities
Save Money By Going Green With Solar Energy
Helps Sandy Run Industrial Park Meet Their Sustainability Goals
Over their 25 year life, these 24 renewable lighting systems operating on average 12 hours a day will avoid over 157 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions—equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from driving 390,819 miles in an average passenger car.
Major Cost Savings on Power Bills
These self-contained units are completely off-grid, generating all of their electricity from the sun, and incorporate battery storage to ensure reliable operation throughout the night. No extension of the grid and no monthly utility energy costs
Long Lasting American Made Photovoltaic Panels
The 24 high performance panels were each made in the USA and will deliver 25 years of life. The onsite monitoring system allows for real time tracking of power production, making it easy to see the system’s performance at a glance and troubleshoot any problems if they arise.
On the Cutting Edge of Innovation
The technological and economic viability of renewable powered lighting for outdoor applications such as parking lots, roadways, pedestrian pathways, and parks has definitely arrived.
