20 Nov IT in Cartagena – Aglomerados Los Serrano
The Directorate General for Roads has recently promoted a project to improve road safety on a stretch of road in Cartagena (Murcia), where 10 ROMI solar streetlights, developed by EKIONA Iluminación Solar, have been installed.
This initiative is part of a strategy aimed at reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions associated with public lighting through sustainable technological solutions that do not require connection to the electricity grid.
1. Solar energy for safer roads
EKIONA’s ROMI solar streetlights operate completely autonomously, thanks to an integrated system comprising a photovoltaic panel, lithium battery and high-efficiency LED lighting.
Each unit is capable of generating and storing its own energy during the day to provide continuous and stable lighting at night, even during periods of cloud cover or low solar radiation.
In addition, the design of these lights is optimised to provide uniform light distribution, improving visibility and driving safety without generating light pollution.
2. Reduced emissions and minimal maintenance
One of the most significant advantages of autonomous solar lighting is that it completely eliminates the need for wiring or ducting, reducing both civil engineering costs and the associated environmental impact.
This type of installation allows for rapid deployment, without interfering with traffic and without the need for electrical connections, making it an ideal alternative for interurban areas or newly constructed sections.
From an environmental point of view, each ROMI solar street light prevents the emission of a large amount of CO₂ per year, contributing directly to the decarbonisation and energy efficiency objectives promoted by public administrations.
3. One step closer to sustainable infrastructure
One of the most significant advantages of autonomous solar lighting is that it completely eliminates the need for wiring or ducting, reducing both civil engineering costs and the associated environmental impact.
This type of installation allows for rapid deployment, without interfering with traffic and without the need for electrical connections, making it an ideal alternative for interurban areas or newly constructed sections.
From an environmental point of view, each ROMI solar street light prevents the emission of up to 250 kg of CO₂ per year, contributing directly to the decarbonisation and energy efficiency objectives promoted by public administrations.
4. Project to reinforce ideas
Projects such as the one in Cartagena reinforce the commitment of institutions to energy transition and the development of more sustainable infrastructure, in line with national and European plans to reduce emissions.
At EKIONA, we continue to collaborate with administrations and entities throughout Spain to offer solar-powered, autonomous and remotely managed public lighting solutions, adapted to each environment and designed to improve urban efficiency and sustainability.
