Fonroche Lighting installed 10 Smartlight Power 365 single arm lights for a residential area in La Chevilotte, 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

Housing area

2. Case study: Housing area - La Chevillotte (25) - France
1/ THE NEED
- Lighting of a housing area
- Securing of the area for the residents and the drivers
- Compliance with EN13201 standard – CE3 Class (allotment)
2/ THE PROBLEM
- Allow the inhabitants to move safely even in case of power outage
- Avoid heavy works and therefore limit investment
- Secure this road portion that does not permit the vehicles to cross each other and where the visibility
is reduced in the bends
- Fight against the energy spending (big spending for the municipalities in particular)
3/ THE FONROCHE SOLUTION
- Fonroche Lighting has proposed 10 Smartlight Power365 single arm for the whole housing area.
- 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.
- The Fonroche solar streetlight permits to avoid any power outage and thus guarantees the inhabitants
safety (walkers and drivers).
- From the first day of installation, the solar streetlights set up have illuminated the dangerous areas
without disturbing the residents’ tranquility. It only took two days for the area to be totally
illuminated.
- The Fonroche Lighting solar streetlights are sized to offer an autonomy of 365 days a year while being
compliant with the EN 13201 European lighting standard. The housing area is totally secured by the
lighting all along the year.
- On the whole area, the installation and operation of the solar streetlights Fonroche will permit to save
more than 1 ton of CO2 per year.
- The luminous pollution is limited thanks to adapted inclination and luminous intensity.
4/ PHOTOMETRIC RESULTS
Fonroche Lighting photometric results for the study of the housing area, according to the CE3 lighting
class:
Average illuminance Uniformity
15.53 lux 0.56
≥ 15.00 lux ≥ 0.40
