un nuovo scenario: non più prodotti con �������������������������������������������� in volta in base alle caratteristiche peculiari del progetto. I dimensionamenti dei pannelli ��������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������� solstizio d’ inverno: in questo modo si assicura il funzionamento in tutte le condizioni, senza soprese per utenti e clienti. Proprio questa predisposizione al progetto sta aprendo la strada verso soluzioni ancora più innovative che possano in poco tempo diventare non solo estremamente competitive in ambiti extraurbani senza rete elettrica, ma anche prendere il posto dei tradizionali lampioni di pubblica illuminazione in ambito ������������������������������������������� transizione ecologica nell’ illuminazione.

��������������������������� visual impact solar lighting
LED technology has already allowed, for relamping projects, to reach most of the time more than 60 % energy savings, a great jump ����������������������������������������� However, green transition is always on the move: the next challenge, more than the research for new and more performant technologies, will be represented by the luminaires conversion from passive items, that means energy consuming, to neutral or, even better, active ones, that means energy producing devices. Sun-powered lighting is the most adequate technical solution to face this challenge. Until now we’ ve seen that the consumers haven’ t relied a lot on this kind of solution, ��������������������������������������������� is the functionality, as the big part of the marketed products in the past had limited autonomy, mostly during the winter season; the second one is represented by aesthetical factors, often with too much visual impact ���������������������������������������� landscape commissions. Here you go with Schréder, that get into ��������������������������������������������� and sleek product range. After taking over the Photinus company, strong solar lighting manufacturer company from Austria, Schréder integrates and extends the current product range, combining its multi-centenary experience in urban lighting with the almost 20-years Photinus’ one. The products have a stylish design, mainly oriented to combine consistency and aesthetics with not only lighting functionalities, but also energetical capability and ability to withstand harsh conditions, as more days in a row without direct solar radiation or installations in cloudy sites as in Northern Europe or in the Alps. That’ s possible thanks to three technical pillars. ���������������������������������solar panels, vertically integrated into the pole framework, so that they can catch the indirect radiation, ��������������������������������������������� its extreme functionality, these systems come out in a very elegant way, without any visual impact on the landscape, traditionally one of the main Achilles heels of solar lighting technology. Second: very capable LiFePO4 batteries, installed just below the ground level, to reduce thermal shocks. The products ' lifespan can reach 25 years with just one battery replacement, after around 12 years, and no other maintenance activities. Third: lighting source with more than 160 lm / W ���������������� ������������������������������������������ ����������������������������������������� developed one by one according to the project requirements. Panel dimensioning and daily ������������������������������������������ the solar radiation on the 21st of December ����������������������������������������������� under all conditions, without surprises for users and customers. This project-oriented way of working, indeed, carries more and more innovative solutions, that can quickly become very competitive not �������������������������������������������������� lighting installations replacement within the urban centre: in this way the green transition for lighting can be fully completed. in alto / top Lenzerheide, Svizzera.
