Parks are amazing 🌳 🌻 🐝 That’s it. That’s the post. …. Okay, not quite. But aren’t they? Playgrounds for playing, trails for exploring, benches for reading, resting, and striking conversations with strangers. But when the sun sets, many parks sit unused, creating an environment where crime and vandalism are more likely to occur. Luckily, there’s a simple solution: solar lighting 🌞💡 From neighborhood parks to national parks, the right solar lighting can extend park hours, improve safety, and create a welcoming space for everyone all the time. Plus, it’s cost-effective, low-impact, and easy to install, making it a smart choice for cities looking to brighten their outdoor spaces.

We don’t generally ask AI to write our posts, but when we do, it’s for important things - like crafting the perfect solar lighting poem for Valentine’s Day 💘🌹🤖 Roses are red, but they're hard to discern When your streets are so dark that you can't take a turn So I bought you these lights that run off of the sun (Much better than grid power when day is done!) They twinkle at twilight, no outlets required Just soaking up sunshine till they're fully "fired" My love, like these lamps, is sustainable too And lights up my life - like you always do! Wishing you maximum efficacy and minimal maintenance this Valentine’s and beyond! xo Sol

📹 Video surveillance. 🚨 Alarm systems. 🔒 Increasingly elaborate and supposedly tamper-proof locks. These are just some of the approaches cities are taking to stop copper wire theft. But the problem persists, leaving communities in the dark and municipalities with massive repair bills. The smartest defense isn't better security—it's eliminating what thieves want. Solar-powered streetlights operate completely off-grid, with no copper wiring to steal. They’re easy to install, free to power, and operate no matter what havoc is being wreaked on the grid. Learn how cities are using solar lighting to permanently solve their copper theft problems while building more resilient infrastructure: https://lnkd.in/gPRQ-67T

Get a load of these lights 😍 Lake Elsinore’s levee trail recently got a solar-powered makeover, bringing safe, sustainable lighting to a place where conventional lights weren’t possible.

Ever fill up on bread at a restaurant just because it was there and it was free? 🍞 You're not alone. Most of us default to "more is more" when something is cheap and abundant, and that mindset can creep into solar lighting, where "free" sunlight tempts us to blast our lights at full output all night. The thing is, while sunlight might be free, solar panels, batteries, and poles are not. Choosing the right operating profile—the schedule that tells a solar light how bright to be and when—can help you maximize reliability and cost-effectiveness without compromising safety.

Happy Friday from the SOLmates 👫💛 Earlier this week, we gathered our team at a secret island location to collaborate, strategize, and connect.

Who let the dogs out? Nearly half of all US households, apparently! 🐶 As dog ownership hits an all-time high, cities are getting creative with ‘pop-up’ dog parks—temporary spaces where pets and their people can run, jump, and play, without the time, expense, or commitment of permanent facilities. Even though these parks are temporary, proper lighting is essential. And solar, with its autonomy, portability, and reliability, is the perfect solution to keep these spaces safe, welcoming, and well-lit after dark.
