Signify’s solar and hybrid-solar streetlights reduce carbon emissions while leveraging the most cost-efficient energy source: the sun. Harnessing that power takes the energy strain off the grid, which helps to alleviate the need for extra power stations and those savings can then be used to support integrated digital initiatives, such as powering electric vehicles.
Since solar streetlights do not require existing electric infrastructure or municipal network, they can be installed in remote areas, improving safety for citizens. During typhoon Odette in Himamalayan City, Philippines, Signify's cluster of solar streetlights became the city's only source of light, making them an invaluable resource for disaster preparedness and community safety.
