Solar Powered Lighting Project

The City of Kelowna is working with Carmanah Technologies Corporation to equip the community’s parks, paths and other public spaces with solar-powered LED lighting technology as part of its commitment to sustainability. The City will install 100 Carmanah EverGEN™ solar-powered area lights over the next 12 months.

The sunshine city, Kelowna receives more than 2000 hours of sunshine a year making it a great location for solar energy technology. The Kelowna project will be the largest installation of the EverGEN to date.

The Carmanah self-contained solar lighting is a unique design where the solar panel, batteries and control electronics are uniquely contained within the “solar engine”.

The EverGen™ solar-powered area lights are the latest evolution in product design providing more power and illumination than previous models. Each unit also contains an energy management system which can be programmed to meet the needs of various locations; for example the lights can be programmed to dim at certain hours of the night to consume less power and provide better illumination when required.
