Today’s Challenges

For two decades, industries dealing with traffic safety & transportation have increasingly turned to solar energy to supplement or replace grid power. To begin with, one reason for this is simple: solar power enables contractors to power traffic control and monitoring devices in remote areas without stringing up miles of wire or using resource-heavy generators. Moreover, since these systems need to be up and running 24/7 without any interruptions, they require a constant energy source that won’t demand too much maintenance.

As a result, SunWize power and battery systems enable traffic and safety systems to run continuously in any weather or setting. Each component used in our solar power packages is ruggedly built for long-lasting performance in remote locations, making us a leading supplier of solar power systems to the transportation and safety industry.

What Can I Power?

Traffic safety & trasportation operations depend on various technologies, including wireless datacom applications, to function safely and efficiently. For instance, data acquisition is crucial for monitoring roadways, equipment, and responding to emergency situations. These systems ensure that operations are not only productive but also safe for workers and the environment.

Furthermore, powering such systems in remote and challenging locations requires reliable energy solutions. SunWize Power and Battery specializes in designing industrial power systems for remote instrumentation used on production sites. In particular, we provide solar-powered SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems and RTUs (Remote Terminal Units). Beyond these offerings, we can design a solar power package that fulfills the following needs:

  • Traffic Calming Systems

Applications

Any contractor in traffic safety & transportation knows building a safe road involves more than just laying down asphalt. To begin with, traffic signals, monitoring systems, electronic signage, license plate lookup,and parking meters are vital components requiring consistent power.

In addition, systems like fleet monitoring, road weather monitoring, and high water alerts are crucial for ensuring traffic safety. For example, high water alert systems can prevent accidents by warning drivers of dangerous road conditions during heavy rainfall.

Ultimately, these technologies ensure roads are functional and equipped to protect both drivers and infrastructure under varying conditions.

Solar power is driving roadside lighting, flashers, and signage for cities, schools, and businesses

Solar-powered traffic flashers, traffic counting equipment, and remote solar power systems are now a vital part of today’s transportation infrastructure and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). For example, solar-powered pedestrian crossing flashers provide an affordable way to improve pedestrian safety in hard-to-reach areas where utility power is unavailable or costly to install.

What’s more, solar-powered road signage, solar sign lighting systems, and off-grid traffic safety systems can be deployed without trenching, refueling, noise, or pollution, offering an environmentally friendly and low-maintenance solution. SunWize Power & Battery provides complete transportation solar power solutions, including solar modules, batteries, solar power kits, custom assemblies, traffic signal backup systems, and OEM solar integration.

Many roadside monitoring and transportation applications use SCADA systems, telemetry, traffic counting equipment, remote monitoring equipment, and data acquisition systems, all benefiting from solar energy’s remote power capabilities. SunWize supplies industrial off-grid solar power systems nationwide, helping power critical transportation applications including traffic flashers, school zone safety systems, solar-powered sign lights, road weather monitoring stations, ITS communications, remote traffic counters, and highway safety equipment.

Advantages

As transportation and traffic safety systems become more connected, reliable off-grid power is critical. From intersections and signage to traffic counters and LPR cameras, solar provides a dependable solution where grid power is limited. SunWize systems are engineered to match each application’s exact load and operating conditions.

Key advantages:

  • 24/7/365 power for roadways and remote sites
  • Battery storage for uninterrupted operation
  • Purpose-built designs that reduce maintenance and downtime
  • Lower costs compared to grid extension or generators

Proper system design is essential. In traffic safety applications, reliability is everything, and a well-engineered system ensures continuous, dependable performance.
