Project
The City of Playford ; a local government area of South Australia in Adelaide’s northern suburbs approached Green Frog Systems for a completely off-grid solar illuminated sign for Elizabeth Shopping Centre. The Elizabeth City Centre is the third biggest shopping centre in the state and required a new internally lit sign to be visible from the main highway that passes the centre.
Challenges
- Very Large Sign! – 6m high and 1.5m wide + Double Sided Display
- Internal Battery Storage Preferred – Can’t have external batteries or boxes, all batteries must reside within the sign structure
- No large external or obtrusive solar panels – must mount to top of sign
Solution
The client opted for a completely independent solar energy harvest and storage system without any obtrusive panels or external battery boxes.
- Green Frog Systems brand High Performance LED tube system & solar charge controllers.
- Low profile high impact 50w solar panels with vandal resistant housing and custom mounting bracket to attach to top of signage.
- Custom system tuning for optimal solar conversion and maximum lumen output per watt of electricity captured from the sun.
Results:
The results speak for themselves really but you’re probably wondering how much power a system like this requires?… Total system power consumption – 44watts!
