Progress Solar Solutions, LLC, an innovator in providing high-performance, eco-friendly and cost-effective solar solutions and energy efficient LED and induction lighting for commercial, government, industrial and institutional applications, announced they are now producing a unique portable Solar LED Light Tower (SLT600).
The SLT600 resembles a traditional portable diesel light tower but is powered 100% by renewable energy instead of diesel fuel. This first-of-its-kind portable Solar Light Tower requires NO diesel fuel, NO routine maintenance, NO noise or diesel smell, NO frequent light bulb changes and NO carbon emissions. It provides brilliant white LED outdoor lighting - any time, any place - and is powered by free renewable energy from the sun.
The Progress SolarTM Light Tower (SLT600) is made in the U.S. and operates independent of diesel, gas or the electric grid eliminating the use of fossil fuels or generation of carbon emissions. The Solar Light Tower is a rugged, mobile light system that provides high-intensity, bright white lighting on-demand, where and when you need it. This system is durable and built to perform, it is equipped with two high quality Solar Modules housed on automated wings that are positioned toward the sun to capture its energy; four solid-state LED flood lights with the highest known lumens/watt available; and a no maintenance, long-life Power Module to store energy for use when needed at night or during in-climate weather. The light tower is fully adjustable from 12-30ft in height, able to tilt up/down and can rotate 360 degrees.
The solid-state LED flood lights provide a tremendous amount of light with very little power required; instant-on/off with no flickering; extremely reliable, vibration and shatter resistant; and designed to provide up to 5x longer run time between bulb changes than metal halide lights. The Solar/Light Control Module protects the system from over/under charging and the lights can be turned on/off automatically from dusk-to-dawn, at user-programmable time intervals or manually on-demand. The system is within a custom designed industrial quality housing on a portable trailer for maximum functionality and convenience that can be easily towed to its destination.
Dan Robertson, a partner for Progress Solar Solutions, commented, "We are proud to introduce a product as innovative as the Progress Solar Light Tower. It expands our product offering and combines the two primary specialties of our company which include commercial Solar Power (PV) and energy-efficient Solar LED outdoor lighting into an elegant, functional, new mobile application. This is ideal for outdoor special events & recreation; construction & work sites; mining, oil or gas; storm & disaster recovery; security, emergency and military applications; as well as the equipment rental companies that serve them."
