Solar Street Lighting
A street light that depends on the grid goes dark the moment the grid does, at exactly the wrong time.
Keep roads lit through grid outages, skip trenching, and remove the copper wire thieves target.

Grid-tied lighting fails at exactly the wrong moment.
For cities and public works departments, trenching and utility coordination are typically the slowest, most expensive part of a wired street lighting project, and once it is in the ground it is vulnerable on two fronts: copper theft and grid outages, both of which leave a street dark exactly when reliable lighting matters most.
Three reasons solar wins on a street corridor.
Keeps working through an outage
On-site charge storage means the lights stay on when the grid does not, a real concern for public works departments managing outage response.
Skips the slowest, most expensive step
No trenching or utility coordination to schedule around.
Nothing to steal
No buried copper conductors for thieves to target.
The fixtures for this job
BFL is the lead product for cities and municipalities lighting streets and roadways, built for the output street applications need. RSL is the secondary option for lower-volume streets and neighborhood roads.
The same platform lights a field or a municipal campus.
The same BFL platform that lights a street corridor scales to sports fields, multi-acre lots, and large municipal campuses: fewer, higher-output poles instead of a denser grid of weaker fixtures, with no conduit runs to extend across the site. This is where the former standalone "Large Areas" application folds in.
Frequently Asked Questions
BFL is built for street-lighting output and keeps running through grid outages, since it stores its own charge on-site rather than drawing from the grid.
Since there is no trenching or grid connection, solar street lighting typically avoids the electrical permitting delays that come with wired installs. Local permitting requirements still apply and vary by jurisdiction.
FLT fixtures are designed for standard poles, such as HAPCO and Nova Pole, and breakaway, T-base, or anchor-base options can be provided on request.
