Progress Solar Solutions, LLC, a solar provider specializing in cost-effective, environmentally friendly solar street, parking and area lighting, will now be the sole provider of a solar product that offers long-life induction lighting durable for any environment.

Solar Street Lights, USA, now exclusively provided by Progress Solar, can withstand military and government conditions and can also power through commercial and industrial applications. 

Craig Brumels, the Chief Technology Officer of Solar Street Lights, USA, said that Progress Solar Solutions offers Solar Street Lights a great partnership with a knowledgeable “full-service” company specializing in providing solar outdoor lights to clients in the North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia area and offering a turn-key solution. 

“They are one of a select group of companies nationally that fully understand all of the technical aspects of site lighting combined with both the knowledge of solar power and the acquisition options available to leverage currently available federal, state and utility financial incentives that are applicable for renewable energy projects,” Brumels said.

Made right in the United States, this solar induction light system is comprised of two primary models, each focusing on specific needs. The first model is a free-standing, grid-independent solar lighting, where energy is stored in batteries on the pole. These lights are essential for locations that are ill equipped with inexpensive or readily available access to the electric grid.

Model two is used for smart grid solar lights, which are ideal for urban or suburban locations with currently installed or easy access to the electric grid. 

Dan Robertson, a partner for Progress Solar Solutions, said that the company’s new solar light product addressed some previously unmet solar lighting needs for government applications in federal, state and local municipalities.

Smart grid solar lights are designed to be carbon neutral by capturing energy from the sun during the day and feeding power back to the electric grid during the day to offset the actual amount needed to power them at night. 

Once the energy is captured, sent to the grid and stored, it is later monitored by a Web-based controller that can control a network of up to 170 lights simultaneously, as a way to test the environmental impact and assistant it provides to the green tech energy movement.
