As part of its commitment to enhancing its public lighting system, the municipality of Cambes, supported by the Gironde Departmental Syndicate for Energy and Environment (SDEEG), has opted for autonomous street lamps. Sunna Design’s solar solutions were chosen for this project, their extensive range effectively meeting the specific needs of the two involved areas.
Cambes – FRANCE
iSSL Maxi Road and UP 2
Initially, the first area in Cambes targeted for public lighting upgrades was the Halage Path along the Garonne River. The goal was to urgently provide reliable, easy-to-install, and cost-effective lighting in anticipation of a future comprehensive redevelopment of the Garonne banks. Indeed, the previous lighting network had suffered due to bank instability, exacerbated by the proximity of the Garonne, leading to the deterioration of the underground electrical network.
Moreover, on the riverbank, there are still poles in good condition, which could be reused following Sunna Design’s recommendations, avoiding high civil engineering costs and lengthy construction times. During these works, the commune also took the opportunity to revise the area’s lighting, thus providing minimal illumination pending major works. The lighting system was reduced from 17 to 5 autonomous street lamps equipped with motion detection.
The choice of street lamps fell on Sunna Design’s iSSL solar street lamp range, known for their lightness and ease of adaptation to existing setups, allowing for quick (under 5 minutes) and hassle-free installation. Installing iSSL Maxi Road was an effective initiative, ensuring optimal project implementation.
In Acacias Street, the issue is that of a residential area previously lacking a public lighting network. Installing a conventional lighting system under these conditions entails significant connection work (trenching, wiring, electrical panels), thus causing inconvenience to residents and high costs for the commune.
Here again, solar street lamps are the ideal response to the location’s specifics. Completely autonomous, they are easily installed on any terrain. Powered by solar energy, they require no network connection. This absence of civil engineering work also means not disturbing the trees around the installation site of this new public lighting system. Beyond the savings in installation costs, autonomous solar lighting also reduces the electricity bill to zero and continues to provide operational service in case of an electrical network outage, especially during extreme weather events.
The commune of Cambes is satisfied with the solar solutions installed along the Halage Path and Acacias Street: 6 iSSL Maxi Road and 2 UP2. The excellent value for money of these products makes Sunna Design a preferred local partner for renovating public lighting systems in Gironde.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is undergoing a major transformation. The country is multiplying infrastructure projects to accelerate its development, and this project is no exception. In 2024, Congo Energy, Sunna Design’s local partner, led the installation of over twenty solar streetlights in the parking lot of Silikin Village’s campus in Kinshasa. […]
In the heart of Mérignac’s Aeroparc, the Cockpit embodies the future of industrial infrastructures. This hub dedicated to the aeronautics, space, and defense (ASD) industries has made a strategic choice by integrating innovative solar lighting solutions. The goal: reduce energy consumption and enhance the site’s sustainability. Thanks to the expertise of Sunna Design, a […]
In Sant Llorenç d’Hortons, a path connecting the residential area to an industrial hub was left in darkness. Used daily by workers and residents, it posed a safety concern. The municipality chose to address this by installing iSSL+ solar streetlights. A fully autonomous solution ideally suited for this natural setting. Path and […]
Port Alberni, located on Vancouver Island, is undergoing a major transformation. The city, known for its stunning natural heritage, has launched an ambitious project to modernize its infrastructure while promoting active and sustainable mobility. As part of this initiative, the municipality chose to illuminate its brand-new 4 km Quay to Quay pathway with 56 […]
