While an interesting and innovative way to generate solar power solar roadways are far from being a realistic cost effective energy production method. However because of the power efficient design of our solar powered radar signs the tc 600s and the tc 1000s only two 18 amp hour batteries that are included in the display housing and a single 40 watt panel are required. In addition larger 80 to 120 watt solar panels are required to ensure 24 7 operation of the sign.

Interplex solar s line of led illuminated signs offers an effective solar powered alternative to conventional passive signage. Sli signs consist of a self contained system that can easily be adapted to replace any existing traffic or commercial sign increasing their visibility and effectiveness at night as well as promoting the safety of both pedestrians and motor vehicle operators. If you have specific requirements please request a quotation. Many users especially in northern climates have reported problems with solar powered signs failing to work during winter months and with their internal batteries failing prematurely.

There are more examples of solar powered signs on solar recyclable led signs. In addition they can use gathered heat to melt snow and ice on the roads. The panels contain led lights powered by the sun that can act as road and warning signs built into the road itself. Solar powered road signs such as signs reminding drivers of a speed limit have been so successful the technology has been extended and is now used in mobile traffic lights.

Display signs work with designers and architects to develop systems to suit specific projects.
