Solar Outdoor Lighting

While Rechenberg's core business has been in the design, supply and installation of security infrastructure which includes access control, surveillance, security fencing, and monitoring services, we also provide solar lighting solutions manufactured by SOL Inc. 

We are able to design, supply and install solar outdoor lighting systems for the following applications:

• Solar lighting for residential streets and roadways
• Solar car park lighting solutions
• Solar park, path and bikeway lighting for recreational areas, exercise equipment, etc.
• Solar lighting in rural and remote communities
• Solar lighting infrastructure for remote construction and mining camps
• Security solar lighting for compounds and depot facilities

We have successfully supplied solar lighting solutions to many existing clients such as Moreton Bay Regional Council, Gladstone Regional Council, Roper Gulf Shire Council, Ergon Energy, Energex, Weipa Town Authority, Cook Shire Council, etc.

Key advantages of the solar outdoor LED lighting systems:

• These ‘stand alone’ 12V solar light systems are more cost effective than traditional ‘on-grid’ lighting to install.
• All electrical components are located at the top of the pole, ideal for elevation above flood waters, reduction of battery heat during operation (which maximises battery life) and reduced risk to vandalism or theft.
• Engineering certification for the poles footing design is available.
• The solar systems can be installed by contractors without an electrician as they are all ‘low voltage’ 12V systems.
• Easy to install since lights arrive as a complete system. Assembly takes approximately 20-30mins per system.
• All components arrive wrapped & palletised and clear assembly instructions simplify the installation process.
• Able to be used as a relocatable lighting asset.
• Fast start up: pre-programmed at the factory with desired operating mode and light fixture output.
• Quality assured with lights 100% function tested and inspected.
• The manufacturer, SOL Inc., is an accredited ISO 9001.
• SOL Inc’s solar LED light systems are reliable with a minimum of 5 nights of backup power.
• All solar lighting solutions can be provided with specifications, photometrics, installation manuals and maintenance information for the required application, according to AS/NZS 1158.

Other advantages for Sol systems:

• Solar lights are immune to black outs.
• Solar lights work even after cloudy days.
• Ideal for environmentally sensitive areas.
• Solar lights produce no pollution and cause no harmful environmental effects.
• All systems are independent of the grid and are not “hooked up” to external sources of power.
• Using renewable energy and solid state LED technologies that have no Mercury or other harmful components.
  Solar lighting for remote communities reduces costs and reliance on diesel powered generators for lighting at night.
• Solar-powered outdoor lighting is virtually maintenance-free, since the batteries require no water or other regular service.
• They promote economic activity after the sun sets which is great for local business activity in remote communities in developing regions.
• For temporary applications, they can be decommissioned and redeployed elsewhere at a fraction of the cost of traditional 240V grid lighting.
• Solar lights provide enhanced security in poorly-lit remote areas where access to grid power is challenging, such as parks and large parking lots.

All solar lighting solutions can be provided with drawings, specifications, photometrics, installation manuals and maintenance information for the required application, according to AS/NZS 1158.

Additional information and technical data is available such as; independent LM79 & LM80 test results, specification documentation for inclusion into tender documents, DWG files for inclusion into project plans and IES files for use when specifying our products during planning and project design phases.
