As part of a new road project in Italy, local authorities sought a solution to make this infrastructure safer, modern, and environmentally friendly from the moment it opened. The goal was to ensure efficient lighting immediately, without relying on a connection to the electrical grid by installing autonomous solar street lights.
Faced with an area lacking electrical infrastructure, it was necessary to choose a solution that was quick to deploy, reliable, and sustainable, capable of meeting road safety requirements while minimizing the project’s environmental impact.
In this context, an autonomous solar lighting solution was implemented using UP2 solar street lights, installed locally with our partner 3S
New road in Italy

6 solar street lights – UP2
The goal was therefore to quickly secure the road, while controlling costs and reducing environmental impact. In the case of a traditional grid-connected installation, this would have involved significant additional costs and delays. The use of an autonomous solar solution proved to be an appropriate response to the site’s constraints.
The lack of an electrical grid made any solution requiring cabling or a grid connection complex.
Excavation works, administrative procedures, and connection operations would have led to delays incompatible with the project timeline.
Lighting had to be fully operational from the very first day of use in order to immediately ensure user safety.
The challenge was to combine rapid deployment, energy autonomy, and reliability, without compromising safety.
To meet these challenges, an autonomous solar lighting solution from Sunna Design was deployed with 6 UP2 solar street lights along this new road section. Each lighting point operates independently from the electrical grid.
The 6 lighting points were evenly distributed along the road axis to ensure consistent and continuous roadway coverage.
A color temperature of 3000K was selected to provide both comfortable and efficient lighting, ensuring good road visibility while reducing glare for users.
Finally, the entire system was optimized for roadway use, ensuring performance levels suited to safety requirements and nighttime traffic conditions.
This solution guarantees reliable service continuity, even in the most remote areas.
The solution was designed to meet the project constraints with fast deployment and immediate efficiency. Thanks to their autonomous design, the street lights were installed without requiring heavy infrastructure, significantly simplifying the construction site.
From the moment it was commissioned, the project delivered concrete and immediately measurable results. The road could be operated under optimal safety conditions without waiting for a conventional electrical infrastructure, confirming the relevance of an autonomous solution for this type of application.
This project demonstrates that autonomous solar lighting is a high-performance, cost-effective, and sustainable solution, perfectly suited to the constraints of modern road infrastructure delivered in record time.

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 […]
Italy: Securing a new road from day one with autonomous solar lighting.
