SolTech will be closed over the holiday break 23rd Dec - 12th Jan
Built for council engineers, parks and recreation teams, road safety officers, and asset managers.
Solar safety systems are self-contained road and pedestrian safety devices, such as speed signs, crossings, and warning systems, powered entirely by solar energy rather than mains electricity. A safety risk at a school crossing, a beach car park, or a shared path doesn’t wait for a capital works cycle, and councils and road authorities manage safety across a wider range of environments than any other SolTech client group: roads, school zones, car parks, parks, beaches, and shared paths. Mains power is not always available at the point of risk, and trenching or grid connection can be slow, costly, or simply not viable at a park entrance, a beach car park, or a temporary school zone. SolTech’s solar powered signs and crossing systems are built to be deployed at any of these locations without that dependency.
From solar radar speed signs and solar powered school zone signs slowing traffic outside a school, to a fully wireless solar pedestrian crossing system, to solar lights for parks and beaches, every system below runs independently of mains power and is designed and supported in Australia.
Council procurement needs to withstand scrutiny. Every SolTech system is designed for Australian conditions, backed by technical documentation, and supported by a track record with state and local government. Systems can be specified, quoted, and deployed without the lead time or disruption of a grid connection project, which matters for time-sensitive school zone or seasonal beach safety upgrades.
Not every council brief fits a standard product. Where a site needs something outside the core range, such as the custom taxiway lighting solution supplied for Adelaide Airport, SolTech can scope and build a bespoke solar solution around the site’s specific constraints.
Solar traffic and pedestrian safety systems installed on or near public roads and shared paths should meet the applicable Austroads guidance and the requirements of the relevant state or territory road authority. Queensland projects should also reference Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) requirements, and NSW councils can refer to Local Government NSW for sector guidance. SolTech can provide technical documentation to support council and road authority approval processes.
Queensland’s state road authority needed a solar safety solution that could be deployed across multiple sites without disrupting live traffic.
Solution: SolTech supplied a solar safety system built to the department’s specifications, giving the authority a reliable, off-grid option it could roll out again.
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.
Adelaide Airport needed a reliable lighting solution for taxiway operations without extending mains infrastructure. Rather than a standard sign or crossing, SolTech designed a bespoke solar taxiway lighting solution to improve visibility and safety, operating independently of grid power.
With multiple sites to manage, Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust needed a scalable safety solution rather than a one-off fix. SolTech rolled out solar safety systems across the Trust’s sites in two stages, giving the Trust a consistent approach it could repeat as new needs arose.
A solar safety system is a road, pedestrian, or warning device, such as a speed sign, crossing, or warning light, that runs entirely on solar power and battery storage rather than a mains electricity connection. This makes it possible to deploy at locations where grid power isn’t available or practical.
SolTech supplies solar radar speed signs, solar traffic light and pedestrian crossing systems, solar pedestrian warning systems, and solar LED enhanced road signs. All operate independently of mains power, making them suitable for roads, school zones, car parks, parks, beaches, and shared paths.
Installations on or near public roads generally need to meet Austroads guidance and the relevant state or territory road authority’s requirements. SolTech can provide technical documentation to support the approval process.
Yes. Councils use SolTech’s solar powered signs and lighting in parks, beach access points, and shared paths, as well as on roads, wherever mains power is unavailable or a permanent grid connection is not justified.
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
