Florida Solar Lighting Case Studies

Real projects showing how Florida communities and Community Development Districts are installing off-grid solar lighting for roads, parks, pathways, and public spaces.

Panama City, Florida – Bay Memorial Park Disc Golf Course

Location: 998 Balboa Avenue, Panama City, FL
Installation Type: Park trail and parking lot lighting

Panama City improved safety and accessibility at Bay Memorial Park’s disc golf course by installing 56 Fonroche solar streetlights along walkways and the nearby parking area. Because the lighting systems operate completely off-grid, the city avoided trenching, underground wiring, and electrical hookups, allowing the project to be completed quickly with minimal disruption to the park.

The solar lighting provides reliable nighttime illumination for visitors while eliminating electricity costs and reducing long-term maintenance requirements. With durable, off-grid performance designed for Florida conditions, the installation helps ensure that the park remains safe and accessible for the community after dark.
