BEKA Schréder has supplied the locally designed and manufactured LED solar lighting highmast solution at Tshepiso Ext 1 and 2 in Sharpeville, Gauteng.
Twenty 20 m high SOLARFLOOD PREMIUM highmasts, funded by the Department of Infrastructure and Development, including Human Settlements, were installed throughout Tshepiso Extensions 1 and 2. This community previously had no public lighting, leaving the area completely dark at night and contributing to safety concerns. Following the project’s completion, residents expressed great excitement and appreciation for the new lighting installation.
About the SOLARFLOOD
BEKA Schréder’s solar lighting highmast solution for outdoor open areas and rural applications provides a high-performing, robust option for off-grid solar lighting requirements.
The SOLARFLOOD, designed and manufactured in South Africa, provides a reliable lighting solution with a high Ingress Protection level (IP 66) that withstands high ambient temperatures. The SOLARFLOOD is a sustainable off-grid performer with a superior lumen/watt ratio. High-performing optics allow for mounting of up to 20 m, providing high-quality light where it is needed.
The photovoltaic energy conversion is optimised by highly efficient Monocrystalline solar module technology. This, in conjunction with the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) charging system and its lithium energy storage technology, provides a state-of-the-art quality system, offering the required system autonomy and providing a long-lasting solution to operate in harsh environmental conditions.
Key advantages:
- Designed and manufactured in South Africa;
- Warranty up to five years (terms and conditions apply);
- Specifically engineered for various geographical locations in Africa;
- Offers enough autonomy to maintain reliable night operation for up to two consecutive overcast or rainy days at an average 11-hour period;
- Long-life lithium (LiFePO4) energy storage technology, offering up to eight years of battery lifetime;
- Designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 144 km/h and highly corrosion resistant;
- Using the latest photometric light distributions and the highest efficient LED technology to provide maximum light levels and spacing between masts; and
- Circular economy 3-star rating.
