Lighting Powered by the Sun – With a Backup
|
Chuck Ross
|
Solar-powered lighting is a great concept for adding outdoor fixtures in
new locations. With no need for wired connections to the local electric
utility, owners save on trenching and other costs. And, since the
fixtures are powered only by batteries charged up by attached solar
panels, there are no monthly electric bills, either.

From the Sky to the Earth: Solar Power Grounding
|
Steve Maurer, IME
|
I'll be honest with you. Up until a year or two ago, solar power was a
mystery to me. In fact, my experience was pretty much limited to the
plugin solar panels that charged my outdoor spotlights and security
cameras.
Nail it down somewhere that would expose it to maximum sunlight, plug it in, and you're good to go.
Quick, clean, and simple, right?

Today’s Latest Streetlights Take a Wires-Free Approach to Vintage Design
|
Chuck Ross
|
I live in a semi-rural community that prides itself for maintaining a
quaint, small-town feel, with only a single traffic light – a
flashing-red stoplight where two state highways cross – along all its
roadways. But even here, where we value our dark nighttime skies, we
count on streetlights to help illuminate tricky intersections during
overnight hours.
