Saly, a beach resort along the Senegalese coast, now shines with a new light thanks to the expertise of Sunna Design in intelligent solar lighting. This collaboration with Schneider Electric has led to a significant project. It involved installing 350 Maxi Road streetlights incorporating motion detectors to light the roads connecting the center of Saly to the beach.
Saly – SENEGAL
Sunna Design has created the Maxi Road solar streetlights, which go beyond merely lighting the streets. These solutions blend with the resort’s environment, offering aesthetics and advanced functionalities. Thanks to their motion detector technology, they automatically turn on at the right moment, optimizing available solar energy and reducing light pollution, which is harmful to the region’s biodiversity.
The impact of this project is significant. Saly now benefits from reliable lighting, enhancing the safety of residents and visitors while reducing risks associated with darkness. Solar energy use actively contributes to reducing CO2 emissions, thus supporting efforts to combat climate change. Finally, the Maxi Road solar streetlights are reliable solutions that require little maintenance, allowing the municipality of Saly to make considerable long-term savings.
This project is a significant step in developing intelligent solar lighting in Senegal. But it is also a concrete example of how solar energy can effectively meet the energy needs of lighting in Africa. Whether in rural areas lacking electric grids or urban areas wishing to adopt sustainable solutions, solar energy offers a promising response. Sunna Design is at the forefront of showing that durable and aesthetically pleasing intelligent solar lighting is a reality.
In Marines, the roundabout connecting the CV-25 and CV-333 roads plays a key role in traffic flow. However, it lacked any form of lighting, compromising nighttime visibility and increasing the risk of accidents. Its distance from the power grid made traditional connection both complex and costly, requiring heavy work and major traffic disruptions. To […]
Lighting a 780-meter bridge without grid connection, while reducing infrastructure costs and environmental impact. Located in the Guanacaste province in Costa Rica, the Puente de la Amistad Bridge is a key road infrastructure connecting the cantons of Cañas and Nicoya. With a length of approximately 780 meters and representing an investment of […]
At Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin, stormwater management, safety and quality of life are closely interconnected. The Cotonou Stormwater Drainage Program (PAPC) was launched to provide a long-term response to flooding challenges while modernizing key neighborhoods and major urban corridors across the city. As part of this program, 591 autonomous solar street lights […]
Located in the heart of a strategic industrial zone, Avenida Azagador de la Torre was equipped with outdated lighting, including old lanterns, deteriorated wooden poles and an ageing electrical network. To modernize this roadway without heavy construction works or disruption to nearby businesses, the City of Valencia entrusted the project to Grupo ImesAPI, a […]
