How it works

No Trenching, No Wiring, No Grid, No Problem.

Conventional street lighting starts below ground, and that's where the cost, delay, and risk start too. FLT skips all of it.

1. Plan your layout.
Choose the right pole and fixture for your roadway, we'll help you get it right.
2. Bolt it down.
One person, under 30 minutes, no electrician and no electrical permit.
3. It runs itself.
Every unit charges by day and lights the road by night, automatically, for decades.

Installs in under 30 minutes

A single person can deploy a unit start to finish, which takes electrical delays off your critical path.

Captures and converts more energy, even in partial shade

Full-surface FLT Active Cell™ panels capture more usable sunlight than standard cells, while FLT ChargeLogic™ converts it efficiently even in shade, cold or low light.

Hardwired

Copper wiring is exposed and theft-prone
Higher lifecycle costs from trenching and utilities
Slower install with trenching and utility coordination
Vulnerable to blackouts and brownouts

Solar

No copper wire to steal
Lower lifecycle costs with no utility bills
Faster install with minimal site disruption
Operates independently of the grid

“If we were looking at 3,000 linear feet, that would be about $60K in conduit pricing that you don’t have to use anymore with FLT. That’s significant savings.”

Frequently asked questions

How much does FLT solar street lighting cost compared to hardwired street lights?
Arrow

FLT solar street lights remove trenching, conduit, wiring, and utility coordination from the project, which often lowers total installed cost versus a hardwired roadway lighting circuit.

Are FLT solar street lights bright enough to meet roadway lighting standards?
Arrow

Yes. FLT street light fixtures are engineered to meet standard roadway lighting levels, with output and pole spacing verified per site through a free photometric layout.

Do solar street lights require a utility connection or transformer upgrade?
Arrow

No. Each FLT street light is fully self-contained and solar-powered, so there is no utility connection, trenching, or transformer upgrade required.

How long does it take to install solar street lights along a new subdivision road?
Arrow

A single person can install each FLT street light in under 30 minutes, so an entire roadway can typically be lit in days rather than the weeks a utility connection can take.

Do solar street lights work reliably in cold or low-sunlight climates?
Arrow

Yes. FLT ChargeWell™ panels and All-Weather™ batteries are engineered for extreme heat and cold, and hold multiple days of autonomy without a full charge.

Can solar street lights be dimmed or scheduled for different times of night?
Arrow

FLT Adaptive Intelligence™ manages lighting profiles automatically, and select fixtures support custom dimming and scheduling for different times of night.

Do solar street lights require an electrical permit?
Arrow

Because FLT street lights are self-contained and do not connect to the grid, they typically do not require an electrical permit.

How long does the battery in an FLT solar street light last?
Arrow

FLT batteries use LiFePO4 chemistry rated for 2,000+ charge cycles, delivering a 10+ year fixture life under normal use.

Are solar street lights secure from copper wire theft?
Arrow

Yes. With no exposed copper wiring between fixtures, FLT street lights remove the most common theft target of hardwired roadway lighting.

Can solar street lights be used on private roads and public roadways alike?
Arrow

FLT street lights are used across private developments, HOA roads, and municipal roadways, sized to the appropriate lighting standard for each application.
