INC. (formerly Solar Outdoor Lighting, Inc.) is a privately
owned company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Palm
City, FL (100 miles north of Miami). We are the world
leader for solar powered lights for streets, parking
lots, pathways, transit shelters, billboards and signs
and other lighting applications that benefit from being
independent from the electric grid. Reliability, security
and safety, as well as minimal maintenance are the greatest
benefits of SOL solar lighting.
In addition, for international projects, products have
been developed to provide clean and independent solar
power for applications like water pumping, traffic signals,
remote village home, school and clinic systems, airport
taxiway and obstruction lighting, and telecom repeater
stations.
We not only provide reliable solar powered lighting,
but can provide other power systems where no
conventional electric energy is available. Our systems
provide a safer and more secure environment,
extending hours for learning, medical treatment, commercial,
advertising and social activities, and improve agricultural
production and the general well-being of people throughout
the world.
In summary, we provide wireless, renewable energy solutions
satisfying needs for safety, security, comfort, illumination
and information.

At SOL INC., we can take your project
from concept to reality. We have assembled a design
and engineering team who understand design controls.
These include budgetary costing, fabrication, verification
and validation of design, as well as manufacturabililty.
We are the leaders in light efficiency (maximum lumens
per watt).
Our engineering team encompasses nearly 150 years collective
experience in mechanical and electrical engineering,
digital electronics, system design, AutoCad, solid models
and detailed drawing and product development.
With the ability to work with any AutoCad compatible
drawing, we can move from design concept to finished
designs including layouts and tolerance valuations.
We can overlay illuminance data with luminaire placement
and photometric specific information.

SOL has entered into alliances with its
suppliers, which include GE, Phillips, Sharp Electronics
and BP Solar to supply components which meet SOL specifications.
SOL has also worked intensively with the producer of
its solar charge controller, the most critical component
in any solar lighting system, to design an exclusive,
programmable high quality device for use with its solar
lights. SOL lights use lamps and ballasts which are
specifically modified to increase efficiency and longevity. |

SOL products utilize components certified
by Underwriters’ Laboratory and CE, and have undergone
extensive testing at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory
in Colorado, the Sandia National Laboratory in New Mexico,
and the Florida Solar Energy Center. SOL products undergo
the most rigorous and demanding production and life
tests in the industry. |

The ISO9001-2000 certification which
was received in early 2005 confirms our consistently
high quality standards. SOL products are listed by the
U.S. Federal Government on its GSA schedule which is
reserved for approved projects, with established prices,
backed by vendor guarantees. In addition, our products
are NEC and ASHTO compliant.
Our products are designed to meet or exceed the stringent
South Florida building codes – the most demanding in
the USA due to hurricanes. |

We at SOL INC. are committed to provide
our customers with innovative solar products that exceed
their expectation of quality and value. Through our
stringent training, engineering, manufacturing, and
inspection procedures, we are able to delivery products
on-time that perform well and endure the test of time.
Products are assembled in our factory production area.
Quality control checks assure quality of the integrated
component selection before the product is shipped. Our
shipping department boxes the individual components
to protect them for safe transport. All of our systems
are shipped via freight companies on pallets to assure
the safest transport possible.
SOL insists that our solar lights perform like new
for decades. We have instituted computerized life testing
of our products to find any subtle but potentially crippling
design flaws that do not show up in even the most thorough
bench tests. SOL products are the most trouble free
solar powered lights available. |

With thousands of lights installed world
wide and in service for years, SOL does not have a single
unsatisfied warranty claim outstanding. SOL has a solid
record of repeat orders from satisfied customers who
have experience with SOL products.
The primary focus of our ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management
System is customer satisfaction. Our certification as
ISO 9001:2000 compliant is testament to our commitment
