Fonroche Lighting installed 4 Smartlight Power 365 single arm and 3 Smartlight double arm lights for a company parking area in La Poste Villeneuve-sur-Lot, France

1. Benefits of solar lighting
Solar lighting permits to get public lighting thanks to photovoltaic energy production. This lighting
has several advantages:
- Compared to a streetlight connected to the grid, the installation of a solar streetlight does
not require civil engineering, the installation is therefore much simpler, faster and most of
all viable economically.
- The electricity bill drops to 0€ - System 100% autonomous. The only solar energy produced
by the PV panel is used to power the solar streetlight.
- The installation of ten Fonroche solar streetlights permits to avoid the emission of more
than one ton of CO2 per year.
- Solar lighting poses no risk of electrical shock. The system is working in continuous current
(24VDC TBT), so there is no electrical handling necessary for the installation.
- The several components have a long service life, with a first maintenance only after ten
years, with the shift of the battery.
- It is possible to perform all the lighting profiles with a solar streetlight (dimming during the
night, extinction of the streetlight…).
- It is possible to communicate with the solar streetlights in order to know remotely and in
real time their operating state and monitor their impact on the project.

2. Case study: Sorting center Parking lot – La Poste
Villeneuve-sur-Lot (47) - France
1/ THE NEED
- Lighting of a sorting center parking lot
- Securing of the staff and delivery vehicle displacements
- Compliance with EN13201 standard
- Smart programming to optimize the lighting power
according to the working hours
2/ THE PROBLEM
- The parking lot can’t be immobilized by works over a long period
- The type of lighting expected must be eco responsible
3/ THE FONROCHE SOLUTION
- Fonroche Lighting has proposed 3 Smartlight Power365 double arm and 4 Smartlight Power365
single arm for the whole parking lot.
- The offered product is sized according to values measured by the nearest meteorological stations
to the project, based on the last ten years period. All the calculation is then based on the worst
period measured in order to ensure the operation of the solar streetlight all over the year.
- From the first day of installation, the first streetlights set up have illuminated the parking lot. It
took only 2 days for the whole parking lot to be completely lit.
- The Fonroche solar streetlights are sized to offer an autonomy of 365 days a year while being
compliant with the EN 13201 lighting standard. The parking lot is totally secured by lighting all
along the year and the employees can move easily on the parking lot.
- On the whole parking lot, the installation of the Fonroche solar streetlights will permit to avoid
the emission of more than 0.7 tons of CO2 per year.
