How Solar Lighting Makes Your Infrastructure Safer

America's Safest City

America's safest city for 13 years running, Irvine, CA installed Urban Solar SLL Series security lighting systems in Orchard Park. The parking lot is now illuminated to meet the City's municipal lighting standards from dusk to dawn. The SLL Series systems also comply with Irvine's Municipal Code, which requires that all solar energy systems be UL-listed for safety.

UL Listing

Many Urban Solar lighting systems carry a system-level UL-listing, so our systems are code-compliant for every Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

Power Outage-Resistant

"The last time we had a blackout on campus, it happened just as students were leaving their evening classes. Urban Solar's system was the only street light that stayed on during the blackout. We are planning to install more Urban Solar systems to increase security for our students and faculty." - Humberto Álvarez, Ph.D., Technological University of Panama
