Renewable Energy as a Secure Power Supply.

Bright Light Solar provides an alternative to the supply of emergency power.

Businesses can now use an integrated renewable energy source for their vital services such as IT and Communications. An alternative to investing in costly battery and generator backup which, by acting as no more than an insurance policy can stand unused for long periods, perhaps throughout its effective life.

The Traditional Approach

In any area subject to power cuts, businesses need to consider how to keep certain vital services running.

In most cases, emergency power supplies come in layers and apply to different parts of the business process, based on:

Requirements for business continuity

Minimum power needed

The layering of emergency power normally comes in the form of the UPS for immediate power in the event of a mains outage further backe dup by diesel generators

Most battery backup UPS's will maintain power during very short power cuts, often being able to supply power for a small number of hours until power returns or the next layer of emergency power is connected, the emergency generator.

The gnerator can often sit unused (and often unchecked) for months, in many cases, it will require some considerable effort to get started - when was the last time the generators battery was checked? Then there is the requirement to maintain a reliable fuel supply!

Maintaining Vital Business Processes using Renewable Energy

Solar and Wind energy along with a battery bank is now regarded as a mainstream technology for providing a secure electricity supply. For little more than the installation of a UPS, generator and control system, a suitable wind and solar system can be supplied that not only provides an emergency energy supply for vital systems but can also be used to provide an ongoing supply thus reducing the demand for ever more expensive mains electricity and in many cases, an insecure supply of fuel for emergency generators.

Wind and Solar systems can be designed to provide energy for Computer Systems, Telecommunication and Lighting.

Systems can be established to work independently of the electrical mains, as an emergency backup or integrated.

We are able to supply standard kits or systems optimised for your requirments.

Off Grid Street Lights

Solar energy can be used to provide a secure - off grid - power source for a variety of lighting solutions.

Solar Powered Street Lights

Solar powered street lights are now a common sight in many areas, increasingly with the addition of wind turbines for additional power during the winter months often allowing for dusk to dawn operation.

Solar Powered Traffic Lights

Solar power is now recognised as a solution to power cuts and load shedding affecting the running of traffic lights. The same technology that is regularly used to maintain street lighting can be applied to traffic lights, keeping traffic flowing and reducing the threat of congestion.

In some parts of the world, free flowing traffic can be vital in reducing the risk of car jacking at otherwise congested locations. Solar powered traffic lights can ensure that drivers are not put at added risk due to power cuts or load shedding.

Solar powered lights are inherently secure in having the key equipment located on top of a high pole. Our solar panels are tested to resist hail stone damage by dropping a 1 inch diameter steel ball bearing from 1 meter!
