Auckland Airport Car Park Lighting

Solar Lighting Project

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.

Solution & Installation

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:

  • Mounted at 6m height for optimal spread
  • Equipped with high-efficiency LED luminaires
  • Fully solar-powered with integrated battery storage
  • Designed for easy maintenance and long-term durability

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.
