Solar LED Bus Stop & Shelter Lighting Systems
Solar lighting is a sustainable and cost-effective solution for illuminating bus stops and bus shelters. Our solar bus stop and bus shelter lights provide reliable lighting powered by renewable solar energy, ensuring safety and security.
Cost Savings
Solar bus stop and shelter lights eliminate municipal and transit company energy bills while also reducing maintenance costs, offering a quick ROI for most projects. The funds can then be reallocated to other critical areas or used for other initiatives to provide a green transportation system.
Environmental Impact
Installing solar for transit projects provides a renewable energy source for these remotely located spaces. Harnessing solar energy significantly reduces carbon footprints and reliance on non-renewable energy sources. This aligns with global sustainability goals and enhances cities' and transit companies' green image.
Reliability & Resilience
Solar bus stops and shelter lights are a perfect solution for the remote installation locations of most bus stops. The systems also remain operational during power outages, ensuring a reliable illumination resource and enhanced public safety. Their robust design withstands extreme weather conditions, providing long-lasting performance and reliability.
Solar LED Bus Stop & Shelter Lighting Design
SEPCO works closely with transit companies, municipalities, design firms, architects, and engineers to provide a solution that meets the project's lighting needs and operation requirements. We aim to provide a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and effective system at illuminating the bus stop or shelter structure. We can provide a complete lighting analysis with comprehensive layouts, tailoring your system design to meet your requirements and budget. Custom-designed panel mounts are available to adapt to your structure.
Solar LED Bus Stop & Shelter Lighting Systems
SEPCO's state-of-the-art solar-powered LED lighting systems offer a sustainable and efficient solution for illuminating bus stops and bus shelters without relying on conventional utility power. These systems are designed to slash electric bills to zero and eliminate the disruptive process of laying down electrical wiring for setup. From bus stops to bus shelters, our solar LED lights have been deployed across a diverse range of environments. They not only enhance security and visibility but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable image for communities everywhere.
Solar LED Bus Stop & Shelter Lighting Systems
Every SEPCO solar lighting system is tailored to meet the project's needs, taking into consideration the system light output and operational requirements. It is sized for solar insolation availability, the longest night of the geographical installation, and worst-case scenarios. Below, you will find the most popular systems for transit bus stop and shelter lighting projects. SEPCO systems can be designed to meet local AASHTO wind load ratings, BAA/BABA compliance, ETL listing for UL/CSA compliance, Dark-Sky, and FWC for turtle-friendly illumination, depending on project needs.
SolarTransit System
The SolarViper system provides a modern way to light up the streets, roadways, and highways while cost-effectively reducing maintenance costs and energy bills. Each system is designed with a solar power assembly to operate the high-powered LED fixture at the required output for the time required based on the local sun availability.

Work with Experts
We at SEPCO know what solar lighting solution best suits your application, no matter the industry or geographic location. The availability and cost of energy, new infrastructure, and many government financial incentives make solar lighting the bright choice. We offer a broad array of solar-powered LED luminaires that provide reliable performance and maintenance-free operation, coupled with a solar power assembly's long life and sustainability.
Security
Exterior lighting protects property, people, and assets. Solar LED lighting not only offers better visibility and wards off potential threats, but it also offers security from brownouts and blackouts. Don't be left in the dark. Install a solar lighting option instead.
Savings
Solar LED lighting systems naturally offer energy savings. Sunlight is plentiful, and photovoltaic panels can harvest energy that grids cannot reach. Low maintenance and ease of installation are the cherry on top of the energy savings.
Sustainable
There is no more renewable resource than the sun. Capturing its energy to light up dark buildings and roadways is a great way to honor our resources. The ease of installation makes adding light to fragile environments less of a hassle and less harmful.
Economical
As a leading solar lighting system manufacturer, SEPCO wants to help you save energy costs and go greener with your next exterior lighting project. Our lighting designers will assist you in choosing the right illumination levels and luminaires from our broad selection of solar LED systems.
Solar Power
We offer custom-sized solar power systems for each project requirement and installation location. Every system is built to meet your project's needs and provide flawless operation year-round using local solar insolation and the length of the night for the project's worst-case scenario.
