Eysines Chooses Solar Lighting to Combat Cable Theft

 

The Taillan Avenue in Eysines, a bustling community in southwest France, is a critical route for local commuters. This area has recently faced frequent cable theft, an issue that has led to numerous power outages. This vandalism not only posed significant risks for drivers and cyclists but also created high maintenance costs for the municipality. To address this, Eysines opted for an innovative and sustainable approach: autonomous solar lighting.

A Solar Lighting Project to Secure Taillan Avenue

 

Ensuring the safety of this busy avenue became a top priority for the municipality. Eysines needed a reliable, wireless lighting solution that could deter vandalism. Additionally, they aimed to reduce maintenance costs and limit technical interventions to keep spending in check. Finally, the solution had to integrate seamlessly with existing poles to minimize construction time and installation expenses. With these goals in mind, the city turned to Sunna Design and its autonomous solar lighting solutions.

A Retrofit Installation to Minimize Costs

 

The city of Eysines has chosen a retrofit strategy, allowing existing poles in good condition to be reused to host new UP2solar streetlights.

 

This compact and efficient solution offers numerous advantages:

 

  • Simplified installation: The solar streetlights are adapted to existing infrastructures, reducing costs and shortening project timelines.
  • Energy autonomy: Operating independently, these streetlights require no wiring, eliminating theft risks.
  • Sustainable commitment: Equipped with a nighttime shut-off system (1 am–6 am), these solar streetlights align with the city’s environmental goals of reducing energy consumption.
  • Smart technology: The SunnAPP mobile monitoring application allows real-time configuration and tracking of streetlight status, as well as managing maintenance operations.

 

The project, carried out mainly at night to minimize disruptions on this busy thoroughfare, concluded with the installation of 12 UP2 solar streetlights.

Eysines strategically invested in modern, long-lasting infrastructure by choosing autonomous solar lighting. This setup ensures Taillan Avenue users have dependable, functional lighting while enabling the city to avoid costly cable theft repairs, resulting in substantial savings. This initiative shows how municipalities can turn challenges into opportunities, modernizing and securing public spaces while optimizing budgets with Sunna Design’s innovations.
