Solar traffic signe

Proof of concept can be seen with the numerous successful installations of solar powered vehicle activated warning signs which now can be found in all parts of the UK road network. These solar & wind powered traffic warning signs, developed by Westcotec, have been repeatedly proven to have a hugely positive impact on road safety. The signs use an ultra-high efficiency speed sensor to ensure that the LED light unit only operates when required.Solar sign lighting offers the convenience of minimal civil works, avoiding the need to lay long cables at huge expense from the nearest mains connection point. Solar or wind powered signs are also re-deployable, or in some cases even designed to be mobile, such as solar powered traffic lights.All off-grid solar & wind powered lighting uses batteries to store the energy, very often a specialised deep cycle gel or AGM battery. Both of these technologies offer safe & efficient power storage, with the advantage that they are not classed as hazardous goods for transport purposes.To ensure maximum efficiency, most sign lights are powered from either 12v or 24v dc, which eliminates the need for a mains inverter and it's associated losses.
