POPULARITY SURGE OF SOLAR PROVES TO BE LIGHT YEARS AHEAD

Local councils, transport authorities and an array of private clients are already queuing up to feel empowered and free from traditional electrical power.
A new wave of excitement and energy has ignited across a diverse range of markets that are catching on to the long-term future and benefits of solar technology. Oxfordshire based, Zeta Solar is developing revolutionary technology so LED based lighting solutions can be used within street furniture, amenity lighting, signage and advertising markets. Spotting the glaring universal potential of optimising energy and fusing it with its core automotive controller expertise, five times over DTI SMART award-winner Zeta, is leading product development and providing easy, bespoke and durable lighting solutions across a diverse range of everyday arenas. Economically competitive compared with traditional forms of lighting technology; Zeta’s solar powered LED lighting looks set for huge global expansion.

With the purpose of making a difference in the way public infrastructure power and lighting systems are developed in terms of technology, sustainability and ease of installation, the future so far, is apparent at none other than our local bus stops!
In line with the government campaign to generate 10% of our energy from renewable sources by 2010, councils and public transport bodies are making more commitments to cheaper and sustainable installations whilst solar-powered bus shelters have popped up from Cornwall to Edinburgh with increasing frequency. The bus shelters are lit using energy stored up from intelligent solar panels located on the roof. When a sensor detects an approaching person, the light activates and remains on until the passenger has left the shelter. Tackling the concerns of commuters about safety, security and comfort, this bright idea is here to stay.
A welcome eco-friendly alternative to the spiralling costs of establishing traditional grid power connections for each bus stop, Zeta has carved a unique proposition out of offering complete solutions or separate elements that the client can engineer to their existing plans. With the promise of full maintenance servicing, emailable data outputs and options for ‘light on-demand’ push button features, Zeta’s ‘brains from the beginning’ philosophy is giving a real edge to this fascinating marketplace. Pioneering technology that is conceived, developed and assembled on-site is key to Zeta Solar’s entrepreneurial success and popularity with its increasing client base. The solar revolution has only just begun …
