Solar Signals products

Solar Signals is a leader in designing and manufacturing remote site power systems with over 20 years of experience in designing systems specifically for the harsh Canadian environments.   This experience, combined with our design team from the transportation and security industry sectors has driven the development of the Extreme Outdoor Motion Detection Alarm System. Based on one of our standard solar power systems that is specifically sized for the load and installation location and incorporating our standard multichannel signalling radios we have added an industry leading Passive Infrared (PIR) system to detect human sized thermal targets moving across a very narrow field of view.

With advances in high power / high efficiency LED lighting, area lighting is no longer reliant on cable runs and the proximity of electrical infrastructure. Often it is more cost effective to use renewable energy such as solar to power lighting systems even if grid power is readily available when considering costs such as installation, electrical authority certification, min. monthly electrical service charges etc. Integrated lighting control programs allow for timed on-off schedules based on dusk or dawn reference points year-round. Solar Signals has been providing reliable lighting solutions for years in the real world where it is not always sunny and not always tropical.

High efficiency LED lighting for street and road lighting is no longer reliant on cable runs and the proximity of electrical infrastructure. Often it is more cost effective to use renewable energy such as solar to power lighting systems even if grid power is readily available when considering costs such as installation, electrical authority certification, min. monthly electrical service charges etc. A common application is on rural road intersections. Our standard solar powered street and area lighting systems are sized to provide dusk to dawn full illumination for 16 hr.s per night with 5 days battery autonomy @-20C.

For areas without electrical infrastructure there are a number of options available. For smaller loads solar can usually supply what is required but when dealing with larger loads a hybrid power system is often more appropriate. Solar signals can provide a load assessment to assure your system is sized to reliably support it’s power needs year-round.

Pole Mounted Radar speed signs - also known as driver feed back signs, speedcheck signs, radar speed displays and "Your Speed" signs among other terms - work by refocusing driver attention on their current speed. Advancement in the electrical efficiency of both the radar and the LED displays makes these signs an excellent load for solar power. Studies show that well-designed radar speed signs are highly effective at slowing cars - particularly around school zones, neighborhood streets and work zones.

Intersections on rural roads are a common source of potential accidents by higher speeds and obstructions such as foilage. With no utility power required solar powered intersection signals have given road engineers another tool in improving the safety on our roads.

Wireless activation is a rapid and inexpensive way of advising motorists to changing conditions, traffic congestion, lane closures or truck inspection requirements. The solar power and wireless activation makes for a cable free installation anywhere where the sun shines.

Reserved lanes are often scheduled for certain times of the day but not all motorists are aware of the time. Solar powered signals that are either activated on a timer or activated remotely via a wireless link are a fast and inexpensive solution.

Solar signals has systems for illumination of signs where the cost of bringing in utility power is not cost effective. Now you can decide where you would like a sign without poles, cables, transformers, blackouts or utility bills. Solar Signals is able to customize systems to the client`s needs from small sign lighting to billboard and pylon scaled signage.
