Congo Energy and Sunna Design join forces to implement a solar street lighting system on a very long artery of the city: the Kasavubu Avenue. Congolese company specialized in the maintenance and rehabilitation of electric infrastructures as well as renewable energies, Congo Energy turned to Sunna Design’s solar solutions to meet the specifications of this solar street lamps installation project.
A total of nearly 220 solar street lights from the iSSL Maxi 4 range were delivered by Sunna Design to be installed along the Kasavubu Avenue, from Forrest Square to the intersection with Likasi Avenue. Sunna Design’s autonomous street lamp is known for its efficiency, its robustness (guaranteed 10 years without maintenance), and its resistance to even the most extreme temperatures.
Whatever the weather, solar lighting provides with light thanks to its onboard intelligence and its system of energy production, storage and management. One of the advantages of solar lighting is that it allows for significant savings in energy costs. In Lubumbashi, the installation of these solar street lamps saves 1360 KWh each night compared to a traditional lighting system, which represents the average daily consumption of 115 families.
The UP1 is a reliable and robust stand-alone solar lighting solution, particularly suitable for pedestrian, bicycle path and car park lighting. This innovative product offers a very simple and fast installation with un- matched performance and connected services such as SunnAPP.
