Case study : Autonomous lighting and new buildings

Installing solar lighting is well known for its relevance to replace ageing grids or in sites with no electricity infrastructure, but it is equally relevant to the creation of residential areas. Why ?

Housing estate lit by 3 solar power units supplying 17 lampposts – Campénéac (France).

1 – Limited costs

Investment: no trenches or cables. In operation: no energy bills. And Novéa solutions have a service life of more than 20 years, with no need for heavy maintenance.

2 – Optimised energy management

Residential lighting is one of the applications that requires the most precision when it comes to lighting and its programming. It is essential to take into account the various stakeholders and their uses of light (residents with their daily flow time, surrounding biodiversity…) in order to adapt the temperature colour or modulate the lighting trough presence detection for example, or even switching off. And this energy approach is at the heart of every solar-lighting project, whether residential or not. Our experts will support you in sizing your solar streetlights the right way to optimise the cost of the product and limit the impact on primary resources.

3 – Aesthetism

This is often raised as an argument against installing a solar solution on housing estates. However, our solar solutions offer a wide range of ambient luminaires to blend in with the landscape. And what about the solar panels ? The Multi solution is ideal for this type of use with a remote solar unit supplying several streetlights without panels, for a long-lasting, efficient and discreet lighting !
