Why Guayaquil Needs Solar Street Lighting

Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city, faces unique challenges in urban infrastructure. With an average of 1,200 hours of annual sunshine, solar energy isn’t just eco-friendly – it’s a practical solution. Traditional grid-powered street lights often struggle with:

• High electricity costs (up to $180/month per pole)
• Frequent outages in coastal areas
• Maintenance hassles due to humidity

Here’s where 30W solar street lights shine. They work like a smartphone: charge during the day, illuminate at night. No wires. No blackouts. Just reliable light.

Key Features of Modern 30W Solar Lights

• Auto-dimming sensors adjust brightness based on movement
• 3-day backup power during cloudy weather
• Corrosion-resistant aluminum frames
