Will solar streetlights work during Florida’s hurricane season?

Yes. Fonroche systems are engineered for Florida’s harshest conditions. Each unit is hurricane-rated to withstand wind speeds of up to 140+ mph, equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. All components are corrosion-resistant and tested for long-term durability in salt air, high humidity, and storm-prone environments.

How does Power 365™ ensure lighting every night?

Florida’s climate can mean days of rain, humidity, and cloud cover—but Fonroche’s Power 365™ technology is built to handle it. Each SmartLight system uses intelligent energy management to store and optimize power during variable solar input, ensuring 365 nights of consistent performance. With automated regulation, blackout prevention, and no need for grid connection, Power 365™ delivers reliable lighting—even through storm season.

Are these lights compliant with FDOT and Dark Sky requirements?

Yes. Fonroche lighting systems meet Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) specifications for visibility, durability, and safety—making them suitable for public roads, schools, and infrastructure projects. They’re also fully Dark Sky compliant, using optics that reduce glare and light pollution to protect Florida’s night skies and wildlife corridors.

What kind of maintenance do these systems require?

Very little. Fonroche’s solar lighting systems are fully sealed, wireless, and designed for long-term performance with zero routine maintenance. With no wiring, bulbs, or trenching to worry about, Florida municipalities and agencies save time, reduce costs, and eliminate site disruptions over the system’s 10+ year life.

Can I monitor or control the lighting system remotely?

Yes. With Fonroche Connect™, you can remotely monitor and manage your solar lighting network from a single, secure platform. Florida cities, counties, and campuses can adjust brightness, schedule on/off cycles, and receive real-time alerts and diagnostics—anytime, from any internet-connected device. The system uses low-power, long-range LoRa communication, ensuring reliable performance without cellular networks or additional infrastructure.

Top Grants to Fund Safe, Resilient Solar Lighting in South Carolina

Real funding. Real impact. Solar lighting that meets your community’s safety and sustainability goals without relying on the grid.

South Carolina cities, counties, and agencies have access to several strong funding programs designed to support infrastructure upgrades like solar street lighting. These grants and incentives make it easier to install Fonroche lighting systems in high-need areas without trenching delays, grid coordination, or budget overruns. Whether you're lighting a school campus in Williamsburg, a corridor in Sumter, or a park in the Midlands, these programs can bring solar lighting within reach.

USDA REAP – Rural Energy for America Program

The USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) supports renewable energy adoption in non-urban areas. Solar streetlighting projects in rural South Carolina counties—particularly where infrastructure gaps make grid connections costly-can qualify for grants covering up to 50% of project costs. Perfect for lighting small-town main streets, agricultural sites, parks, and community walkways.
