Amid Alberta’s ambitious energy transition, Travers Solar, Canada’s largest solar farm, stands as an iconic project. To ensure the safety of this strategic site and showcase the power of renewable energy, Sol by Sunna Design, the North American subsidiary of Sunna Design, implemented an innovative solar lighting solution designed to withstand the region’s extreme climatic conditions.
Alberta province – CANADA
Located in Alberta, south of Calgary, the Travers Solar farm spans nearly 1,350 hectares (3,330 acres) and boasts an impressive capacity of 465 MW. Developed by Greengate Power, the project aligns perfectly with Alberta’s environmental strategy to phase out coal-powered energy production and accelerate the transition to renewable sources.
A reliable, autonomous lighting solution capable of withstanding extreme weather was critical to securing this vast site. With winter temperatures sometimes plunging to -30°C, combining energy efficiency, durability, and environmental responsibility was challenging. The mission: provide 365 nights a year of secure lighting for multiple access points while minimizing the ecological footprint.
To meet the needs of Travers Solar, 34 UP2 solar streetlights were installed around the perimeter of the solar farm. These systems are designed for autonomous, innovative, and eco-friendly lighting and offer an ideal solution for remote locations. Two key features of the UP2 range were pivotal for this project:
