Solar Powered Traffic Signs | Pedestrian Crossing System

Where a pedestrian crossing is needed but mains power is not available, trenching is not practical, or the location is temporary, SolTech’s Solar Traffic Light System provides a reliable, self-contained solution.

It operates the same way as a conventional pedestrian crossing system. When the push button is pressed (or the PIR sensor is triggered), a fully programmable sequence controls both vehicle and pedestrian signals to manage the crossing safely. No grid connection. No wired links between the two sides. The units on each side communicate wirelessly over a range of more than 100 metres.

Each component, including the signal heads, push buttons or PIR sensors, solar powerbanks, pedestrian signs, and optional road studs, operates as an independent wireless module. The system is designed on a solar regime calculated for the shortest day of the year at the installation site, ensuring a minimum autonomy of 72 hours without recharge. Australian Made.

Built for councils managing remote crossings, civil contractors on live sites, and any project where solar powered traffic signs are needed without the cost or disruption of running cable to a crossing.

Australian Made and Owned

SolTech products are designed, engineered, and manufactured in Australia for safety, performance, and durability. This ensures premium quality control and reliable, contactable Australian based support. Every system is purpose-built for tough Australian environments, making SolTech a trusted choice for councils, contractors, and engineers nationwide.

 

Who is this product suited to?

The SolTech Solar Traffic Light System is used at crossings where mains power is unavailable, trenching is impractical, or the crossing location is temporary or remote:

  • Councils installing pedestrian crossings on roads, shared paths, school zones, or park entrances where grid connection is not viable.
  • Civil contractors managing pedestrian safety at temporary crossings on construction or infrastructure sites.
  • Mining and industrial site operators controlling pedestrian and vehicle interaction at gate entries or internal road crossings.
  • Remote communities and regional road authorities needing a crossing solution without the cost or disruption of trenching.
  • Private landowners, retirement communities, and large sites with internal roads requiring a managed crossing point.

 

Compliance and standards

Pedestrian crossing systems installed on or adjacent to public roads in Australia must comply with applicable Austroads pedestrian and traffic signal standards and state or territory road authority requirements. SolTech’s solar traffic light system is engineered to meet these requirements and can provide technical documentation to support council or road authority approvals.

Solar Powered Traffic Signs | Pedestrian Crossing System FAQs

The Solar Traffic Light System operates like a standard traffic light system. When the pedestrian button is pressed a programmable and timed sequence of events is initiated that controls the vehicular and pedestrian traffic to ensure the interaction between both is safe and efficient.

Yes, the Solar Traffic Light System if fully programmable from the built in interface. We have an operation model of the interface available to test program. Ask the team to share this with you

No, the Solar Traffic Light System is an entirely off grid solar system requiring no connection to the grid. There are also no wired connections between the system on either side of the crossing, each system is connected wirelessly with an operational distance of > 100Mtrs.

The word for this is “Autonomy”. We build the Solar Traffic Light System after confirming operational load the system will be under. We calculate how many times the system would be interacted with in 24 hours on the shortest day of the year to use as a base line. From there we use shadow mapping to evaluate the recharge capacity on this day to ensure we deliver a Solar Traffic Light System that carries a minimum of 72 hours autonomy with not recharge.

A solar pedestrian crossing system replicates the function of a mains-powered pedestrian crossing without any connection to the electricity grid. Each signal head and activation unit is independently solar powered and wirelessly connected to the others, removing the need for trenching or cabling between sides of the crossing.

SolTech solar traffic light systems are quote-based. Each system is configured based on site-specific requirements including location, solar analysis, operational load, and autonomy needs. Contact the team for a quote.

Solar powered traffic signs are road signs, pedestrian crossing systems, and warning devices that operate entirely on solar energy rather than mains power. They use solar panels and battery storage to run independently of the grid, making them suitable for remote locations, temporary installations, and sites where trenching is not practical. Solar LED traffic signs enhance visibility with high-intensity LEDs that attract driver attention in all light conditions. In Australia, solar powered traffic signs are used across councils, construction sites, mining operations, hospitals, and transport corridors where reliable off-grid signage is required.
