About Solar Advance
Solar Advance specializes in autonomous solar street lighting and is the exclusive distribution partner of Fonroche Lighting in Switzerland. The company supports projects throughout their entire life cycle: calculation of solar potential, photometric dimensioning, project planning, installation of the luminaires as well as maintenance and customer service. The solar luminaires consist of high-quality PV modules (poly- or monocrystalline cells), the intelligent storage and management system Power 365, LED luminaires with over 190 lm/W, and masts and arms made of thermolaqued galvanized steel. The systems are designed for the Swiss climate, dimensioned by the R&D department and offered with an 8-year warranty. Customers include municipalities and traffic infrastructure, among them the city of Thun, the ASTRAS/FEDRO construction site in Chexbres, Vallorbe, Gampel-Bratsch, Oberems and Wünnewil-Flamatt. The company is headquartered in Bullet in the canton of Vaud (Jura); its activities cover all of Switzerland.
