Solar Street Lighting
Designed for local roads, this sustainable solution is ideal for increasing safety on poorly lit roads and intersections.
Safety for motorists and pedestrians is paramount on low lit residential and rural streets. If we can light up these areas, it helps draw people’s attention to roundabouts, intersections, and a-joining pathways.
SMART street lights are the perfect solution for these applications as there is no underground cabling required which would pose a significant risk to existing underground power and communication infrastructure.
RANTFONT guarantees performance
- Extended battery guarantee for LGA partners
- Fast installation times as no power cabling required
- Complimentary on-site compliance lighting audit
- Complimentary tailored Isolux plot lighting design

How does solar street lighting work?
Not only is solar street lighting off-grid, but it also conserves its own power by dimming down to 30% when no-one is around. This provides enough background light to ensure security and enough low light on accessways to maintain a sense of community, rather than isolating homes in the darkness.
When any significant movement is detected – whether that be by a vehicle or a pedestrian entering the street – the unit switches to 100 percent output, giving enough light to identify hazards on the accessway and plenty of light to deter unwanted activity.
When zero activity is detected, the unit dims quickly. This ensures the accessway is not lit all night with an unnecessary level of light, conserving solar power and ensuring residents are not impacted by any unnecessary light during the night.
The Benefits of Solar Street Lighting
Intuitive solution for power conservation
Solar street lighting is an off-grid solution that conserves its own power by dimming down to 30% when no-one is around.
Cost-effective with a quick turnaround
Solar street lighting is an effective smart street light solution, with a quick installation turnaround and reduced labour and material costs.
Increased community safety and satisfaction
With smart street light, residential areas experience greater safety and reliability. Not only is there increased safety, residents and councils are also saved the cost of hefty power bills and the intensive labour of running cables to light fittings.
Solar Street Lighting FAQ's
How much does solar street lighting cost?
As each project differs in size and design and application requirements, installation costs vary. However, because solar street lighting requires no underground cabling and expensive machinery, installation costs are generally around a quarter of a grid-powered lighting equivalent.
Do solar street lights charge on cloudy days?
Solar street lighting still charges on a cloudy day, however because clouds diffuse the strength of the sunlight, the charge at that time is less. However, RANTFONT systems are sized appropriately to ensure the solar-panel-to-battery ratio can provide at least 7 days of battery autonomy, to maintain minimum lighting levels within the application at all times.
Why should I choose solar over a traditional street lighting option?
LED lights are 30–50% more efficient than most traditional streetlights. The advances in Solar street lighting technology means that customers can reliably power high or low powered solar street lighting in any weather condition anywhere on the globe. It’s the perfect alternative to mains powered lighting giving the same lighting outputs and reliability.
