Sonaray delivered a high-performance solar car park lighting solution for the Puhinui Road Car Park located in Wiri, Auckland. Designed for Auckland Airport, this project required reliable, energy-efficient lighting to improve visibility, safety, and accessibility across a large-scale parking facility.
Using advanced solar street lights, the system operates completely off-grid, eliminating the need for trenching and reducing long-term electricity costs.
The lighting design was engineered to deliver balanced illumination across the entire car park, ensuring safety for both pedestrians and vehicles.
Key performance outcomes include:
The layout was carefully designed to optimise spacing and minimise dark spots, ensuring consistent light distribution across parking rows, access lanes, and pedestrian areas.
A total of 73 solar lighting units were strategically positioned throughout the car park based on a detailed lighting layout plan (see drawing on page 1 of the provided document).
Each light is:
This project utilised Sonaray’s proven solar lighting solutions, making it ideal for large infrastructure projects such as airports, commercial car parks, and public spaces.
No connection to mains power, reducing installation complexity and ongoing energy costs.
Consistent illumination enhances visibility for drivers and pedestrians, particularly during early morning and night-time operation.
The modular system allows for easy expansion or reconfiguration as the car park grows.
With fewer electrical components and durable construction, maintenance requirements are minimal.
