Will solar lighting work during hurricane season in South Carolina?

Absolutely. Fonroche SmartLight systems are engineered to withstand South Carolina’s most extreme conditions. With wind ratings up to 145 mph and sealed components built for coastal humidity and salt air, our lights are hurricane-resilient and field-tested in High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ). They operate through storms, blackouts, and flooding—no grid required.

How do Fonroche systems ensure consistent lighting even on cloudy or rainy days?

Fonroche’s Power 365™ technology is built for real-world conditions, including South Carolina’s variable weather. It uses smart energy storage and predictive charging to deliver full lighting 365 nights a year, even after consecutive cloudy days. Each system is independently modeled to your site’s solar profile to guarantee performance—not just promise it.

What types of projects are these solar streetlights used for in South Carolina?

Our systems are installed across public roads, school campuses, housing developments, parks, and military sites statewide. Whether you’re lighting a new greenway in Beaufort or improving safety at an intersection in Columbia, we deliver code-compliant, zero-trenching solar lighting that adapts to your site and your schedule.

Are Fonroche systems Dark Sky friendly and SCDOT compliant?

Yes. All fixtures are full-cutoff and Dark Sky compliant, minimizing glare, spill light, and environmental disruption. Systems also meet SCDOT visibility, safety, and durability standards, making them suitable for municipal roads, walkways, and DOT-regulated corridors.

What kind of maintenance or servicing is required?

None. Our systems are sealed, wireless, and designed for 10+ years of operation with no scheduled maintenance. No bulbs, no wiring, and no trenching means fewer headaches for public works and operations teams—just reliable light, every night.

Can I monitor and control the lights remotely?

Yes. Fonroche Connect™ offers real-time remote monitoring and control of your entire lighting network. You can adjust brightness levels, change lighting schedules, and get automated alerts from anywhere. The system uses secure, low-power LoRa technology—no cellular data and no extra infrastructure.
