    Clean energy with hybrid and solar street lighting

    Clean energy

    Energy saving solutions that leads to less carbon 

     

    Signify’s solar and hybrid-solar streetlights reduce carbon emissions while leveraging the most cost-efficient energy source: the sun. Harnessing that power takes the energy strain off the grid, which helps to alleviate the need for extra power stations and those savings can then be used to support integrated digital initiatives, such as powering electric vehicles.

     

    Solar streetlights also don’t need to be “plugged in”, so they aren’t governed by existing electric infrastructure or municipal network. That gives us the freedom to install lighting where it is needed, improving safety for citizens in remote areas.
