SolTech will be closed over the holiday break 23rd Dec - 12th Jan
Built for hospital facilities managers, capital works and estates teams, and clinical safety governance staff.
Hospitals and healthcare campuses share a small footprint of driveways, car parks, and pedestrian routes between patients, staff, visitors, and emergency vehicles, often at the same pinch points, day and night. A safety gap there is rarely a surprise to the people who manage the site. It’s usually a near-miss someone has probably already flagged internally. Works also cannot disrupt live clinical operations, and mains power or trenching near a hospital entrance or car park often isn’t practical on a reasonable timeline. SolTech’s solar powered systems are installed without grid connection or ground works, so safety upgrades can proceed without a shutdown, without cones and workers disrupting an active drop-off zone, and without affecting hospital operations.
From a solar over-height warning system protecting car park entries, awnings, and basement access, to a fully wireless solar pedestrian crossing system and solar pedestrian warning system managing patient and visitor movement, to solar radar speed signs slowing traffic on campus access roads, every system below runs independently of mains power and is designed and supported in Australia.
Fremantle Hospital, Bentley Hospital, and Westmead Hospital are among the sites already running SolTech solar safety systems.
Patient and staff safety is the priority, but so is keeping a live site running during installation. Because every SolTech system is self-contained and solar powered, safety upgrades can be installed at a hospital or healthcare campus without trenching, without a shutdown, and without waiting on an electrical contractor to run new power. That matters most at exactly the kind of site where disruption has the highest cost. A solar radar speed sign, for example, is completely off-grid, with no electrician and no trenching required, so it typically installs in hours rather than days.
Not every hospital site fits a standard product. Where a car park entry, awning, or basement access has an unusual clearance, layout, or access constraint, SolTech can scope a solution around the site’s specific requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all install.
Facilities and safety decisions at a hospital rarely rest with one person. SolTech can provide technical documentation your team can use internally for a capital works submission, a clinical governance review, or a procurement process, so the case for a solar safety upgrade doesn’t stall on paperwork once the operational case is already made.
Car park and pedestrian safety works at hospitals and healthcare facilities should be considered alongside the site’s clinical governance and safety obligations, including the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards and the Australasian Health Facility Guidelines (AHFG), which cover signage and access requirements many facilities teams already reference for technical sign-off. State health departments (Queensland Health, NSW Health, WA Health, and equivalents) may set additional site-specific requirements for individual campuses. SolTech can provide technical documentation to support facilities, safety, and procurement approval processes.
Fremantle Hospital needed to manage pedestrian and vehicle conflict at a busy campus walkway without disrupting live clinical operations. SolTech installed a solar pedestrian warning system, giving the site continuous coverage with no trenching or mains power connection required.
Bentley Hospital needed to manage vehicle speed on campus access roads without a mains power upgrade. SolTech’s solar radar speed sign gave the site a self-contained, off-grid option, installed in hours with no electrician or trenching required.
Westmead Hospital needed reliable traffic signage on a live campus site where trenching for mains power wasn’t a practical option, including clear visibility after dark. SolTech installed a solar powered traffic sign, delivering round-the-clock visibility without any disruption to hospital operations.
Sunshine Coast University Hospital’s pedestrian crossing lacked the visibility drivers needed, particularly at night and in poor weather. SolTech installed a Solar LED Enhanced Road Sign, giving the crossing round-the-clock visibility with no disruption to hospital operations and no connection to mains power.
A solar safety system is a car park, pedestrian, or warning device, such as an over-height warning system, crossing, or radar speed sign, that runs entirely on solar power and battery storage rather than a mains electricity connection. This makes it possible to install at a hospital or healthcare campus without trenching or an electrical shutdown.
SolTech supplies solar over-height warning systems, solar pedestrian crossing systems, solar pedestrian warning systems, and solar radar speed signs. All operate independently of mains power, making them suitable for hospital car parks, campus roads, and internal pedestrian routes.
Car park and pedestrian safety works at a hospital or healthcare facility are generally considered alongside the site’s clinical governance and safety obligations, including the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards and the Australasian Health Facility Guidelines. SolTech can provide technical documentation to support the facilities and safety approval process.
Yes. Every SolTech system is self-contained and solar powered, so installation does not require an electrical shutdown, trenching, or extended access to live clinical areas. Solar radar speed signs, for example, run entirely off-grid and typically install in hours rather than days.
Generally, yes. SolTech’s documentation is written to support an internal business case or procurement process, not just a straightforward purchase, so it can sit alongside whatever approval path a hospital site normally needs before work gets scheduled.
We’re proud to deliver solutions that make a real difference. Don’t just take our word for it, hear directly from clients who have experienced the reliability, performance, and impact of our products and services. Their stories speak for themselves.
Excellent Service. There was an issue with a product (solar road markers) and they replaced the items straightaway. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you. – Pauline Abela
Ethan and the team at SLD were extremely patient and helpful with my order of 7 large solar speed signs on 190kg [Steel] bases, being sent to Victoria for installation across my workplace, which is a public use space. Ethan answered many technical questions with ease, and assisted with troubleshooting, the shipping and delivery, assembly and changing the radar speed. Their accounts team adhered to my companies strict policies, and the project went live yesterday. Would recommend the company and products. Thank you Ethan, Scott and team. – Lisa Pettifer, Project Manager
We were receiving multiple reports of speeding in the village from our residents. After investigating the problem areas and delivering the solution, I can confidently say that the Solar Speed Signs have reduced the incidents of speeding in the village. – Deon Moran, Village Manager
We live in a gated lifestyle resort of 375 residents, we have narrow roadways and no foot paths so it’s a shared pedestrian/vehicle environment. The speed limit within the resort is 10kph, which despite numerous conventional signs was regularly exceeded by visitors and residents alike. We purchased the portable flashing sign from SLR and the change in driver behavior was apparent within a very short period. This is a cost-effective deterrent, and very easy to use and deploy, we are considering purchasing another. – Peter Lake
