Solar Lighting - Smarter, Safer, and Sustainable Public Lighting

Solar street lights are self-sustaining outdoor lighting systems powered by the sun. Each unit includes:

  • Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel that captures sunlight.
  • Lithium or LiFePO₄ battery that stores energy for night-time use.
  • High-lumen LED lamp for bright, even illumination.
  • Smart control system with motion sensors or dusk-to-dawn automation.

 

Unlike conventional grid-connected lighting, these systems require no trenching, cabling, or monthly electricity bills — making them ideal for remote areas, new developments, and sustainable cities.

Solar LED street lighting is the perfect low-maintenance solution for car parks, public pathways and new developments. It offers exceptional lighting without the need for a mains power connection.

Why Choose Solar Street Lights?

Sonaray’s solar street lighting range meets the needs of councils, developers, and businesses seeking reliable lighting without rising energy costs. Our systems provide:

Airport Carpark Lighting

When temporary lighting is required at airports for the safety of passengers, solar street lights provide the necessary illumination.
Airport Lighting

Local council pathways and community spaces

When public safety is important, pathways in parks and other open spaces can easily remain well-lit using solar street lighting.
Pathways In Public Spaces

Bus Stops

Solar street lights can provide an energy and money-saving alternative to traditional lighting on bus stops that are in more remote locations.
Bus Stops

Car parks and shopping precincts

Solar street lights are the perfect lighting solution for both public and private car parks to provide safety for drivers during nighttime hours.

Advanced Technology You Can Rely On

With high-capacity batteries, anti-glare optical lenses, premium LEDs, and smart power management, Sonaray solar street lights deliver unmatched consistency and performance. Each system is engineered for high output and all-night reliability.

Long-lasting Battery

The batteries that store the power from the solar panels have a long cycle life of 1000 recharges, making them a good, sustainable option.

Circuit Protection

The drivers on our solar street lights are fitted with a one-way pressure release valve to stop them from overheating, thus providing protection for the circuits.

Covered Lens

Our solar street lights are fitted with polycarbonate covers over the lenses to protect the LEDs from clouding or yellowing.

Optic Control System

A distinct feature of each solar LED street light is that it can adjust its brightness to reflect the time of day and the amount of natural light available.

Designed for Australian Conditions

Australia’s climate demands lights that withstand extreme heat, high UV exposure, salt air, storms, and prolonged sunlight. Sonaray systems are engineered for Melbourne and regional Australia, offering robust and reliable performance.

Some General Questions

How do solar street lights work?

Solar panels charge integrated batteries during the day; at sunset, the system powers the LEDs using stored energy.

They provide high-lumen output suitable for pathways, urban streets, public spaces, and car parks.

Yes — advanced controllers optimise energy use, but best performance requires 4–6 hours of direct sunlight.

Typically 5–10 years, with LEDs up to 70,000 hours and lithium batteries offering long cycle life.

Zero electricity costs, fast installation, eco-friendly operation, and grid independence.
