An ecological and economical solution for lighting outdoor spaces
Located in the Alpes-Maritimes, the Tourre leisure and sports park in Carros wanted to modernize its outdoor lighting while adopting a responsible and sustainable approach. The municipality therefore chose to install 37 autonomous solar-powered streetlights designed by Fonroche Lighting, a recognized leader in the field of urban and professional solar lighting.
Thanks to their high-performance photovoltaic panels and long-lasting batteries, these intelligent lights capture the sun's energy during the day and provide powerful, natural light at night. They provide optimum illumination for playgrounds, cycle paths, pedestrian walkways and the park's various activity zones, offering visitors a safe and friendly environment at all times.
The many advantages of Fonroche Lighting solar street lamps
By opting for this range of innovative products, the town of Carros has acquired a lighting solution with multiple advantages:
- Quick and easy installation, with no need for trenches or connection to the power grid
- Total autonomy, enabling year-round operation without generating any electricity bills
- Reliable, robust equipment, designed to withstand outdoor conditions for over 10 years
- Adaptive lighting, thanks to presence and brightness detectors to automatically adjust power according to requirements
- A sleek, high-quality design with noble materials such as aluminum and tempered glass.
Comparison of outdoor lighting technologies :
| Criteria | Solar street lamps | Classic candelabras |
|---|---|---|
| Power source | Free and renewable | Electrical network |
| Operating costs | Null | Electricity bill |
| Installation work | Slight | Heavy (trenches) |
| Environmental impact | Positive | Negative (CO2) |
| Reliability, durability | High (> 10 years) | Variables |
A virtuous project as part of a global approach to sustainable development
The deployment of this new-generation solar lighting marks a key step in the environmental policy of the Carros municipality. By producing green electricity directly on site, Fonroche Lighting's solar-powered streetlights play an active role in the area's energy transition.
Over and above the savings made, this project, which is similar to others, is helping to raise public awareness of renewable energies. It demonstrates that it is possible to create welcoming, safe and pleasant outdoor spaces while reducing one's carbon footprint.
With its latest-generation solar-powered lighting, Parc de la Tourre has become an exemplary site, combining respect for the environment, budgetary control and the well-being of users. A great success that paves the way for new intelligent solar lighting projects in the municipality!
