100 largest U.S. cities and found that most are closed from dusk to dawn regardless of demand. Solving <br />Americans' safety concerns begins with reliable lighting. <br />However, introducing reliable lighting to community spaces requires valuable infrastructure resources that some <br />municipalities simply do not have the budget nor time for--Wespite the 100 lary-est U.S. cities investing $ <br />billion each year in parks and recreation Since grid -tied infrastructure is not always planned from the <br />beginning, bringing it to parks can often be too costly, resulting in parks dropping their projects altogether, <br />despite the value the lighting would bring to the parks in the long term. <br />There's hope for parks and recreation professionals who want to reimagine outdoor spaces for their <br />constituents: Solar lighting actively avoids those expenditures with its simple, non-invasive installation, <br />sustainable profile, and minimal recurring costs. Without the need for complex underground wiring, solar <br />lighting fixtures only require a hole to rest in and remain disconnected from the nearest power grid. <br />This aspect alone saves a city countless resources, from labor to material costs. Additionally, this level of <br />simplicity trickles down to maintenance costs, as solar lights by Sol do not require active maintenance for years <br />after their installation. <br />19TI' <br />Solar lights reduce environmental impact as they 6nIt require the extensive trenching traditional light <br />fixtures do. Eliminating trenching means less costs are incurred since there is no need to bring electrical <br />infrastructure to the area being illuminated. <br />ON AVERAGE, <br />for a 1-mile trail, <br />solar lighting cuts the <br />cost of grid -tied lightr <br />Additionally, available tax credits and IRA -related federal incentives' can lead to munici alities saving even <br />more, with up to 50% of the cost of acquiring solar lighting being financed through irect Pay by the Federall <br />Even energy costs fall dramatically thanks to Sol's independence from grid -based power sources, granting <br />municipalities more freedom with their budgets. <br />The maintenance workload and costs are also minimal, as Sol guarantees a 10-year municipal -grade warranty. <br />That warranty promises that the solar lighting fixtures will work as intended and remain maintenance -free for <br />10 years at a minimum. <br />But before those 10 years even begin, low installation costs ensure municipalities have a reasonable entry point <br />with solar lighting. Sol has designed and developed products that are specifically created for use in parks and <br />
