Solar LED Park & Playground Lighting Systems
Every SEPCO solar lighting system is tailored to meet the project's needs, taking into consideration the system light output and operational requirements. It is sized for solar insolation availability, the longest night of the geographical installation, and worst-case scenarios. Below, you will find the most popular systems for solar park and playground lighting projects. SEPCO systems can be designed to meet local AASHTO wind load ratings, BAA/BABA compliance, ETL listing for UL/CSA compliance, Dark-Sky, and FWC for turtle-friendly illumination, depending on project needs.

SolarViper System
The SolarViper system provides a modern way to light up the streets, roadways, and highways while cost-effectively reducing maintenance costs and energy bills. Each system is designed with a solar power assembly to operate the high-powered LED fixture at the required output for the time required based on the local sun availability.

SolarRatio System
The SolarRatio system is a traditional shoebox-style system used for streets, roadways, and highways to help reduce energy costs and lower maintenance requirements. These systems are designed to meet the lighting and operation requirements based on geographical information for sun and length of night.

SolarASL
The SolarASL system is a new way to light up streets and roads using solar power. It helps to save money on maintenance and energy bills. Each system is designed to use solar power to operate the bright LED lights for as long as needed, based on how much sunlight is available in the installation area.

SolarUrban
The SolarUrban system features a decorative bell-shaped fixture with high-output lighting without slacking on design. This setup meets the same lighting levels as other systems while providing an architectural flair for downtown, developments, and other applications requiring a decorative option.

Work with Experts
We at SEPCO know what solar lighting solution best suits your application, no matter the industry or geographic location. The availability and cost of energy, new infrastructure, and many government financial incentives make solar lighting the bright choice. We offer a broad array of solar-powered LED luminaires that provide reliable performance and maintenance-free operation, coupled with a solar power assembly's long life and sustainability.
Security
Exterior lighting protects property, people, and assets. Solar LED lighting not only offers better visibility and wards off potential threats, but it also offers security from brownouts and blackouts. Don't be left in the dark. Install a solar lighting option instead.
Savings
Solar LED lighting systems naturally offer energy savings. Sunlight is plentiful, and photovoltaic panels can harvest energy that grids cannot reach. Low maintenance and ease of installation are the cherry on top of the energy savings.
Sustainable
There is no more renewable resource than the sun. Capturing its energy to light up dark buildings and roadways is a great way to honor our resources. The ease of installation makes adding light to fragile environments less of a hassle and less harmful.
Economical
As a leading solar lighting system manufacturer, SEPCO wants to help you save energy costs and go greener with your next exterior lighting project. Our lighting designers will assist you in choosing the right illumination levels and luminaires from our broad selection of solar LED systems.
