Solar lamps in Golina, Wielkopolska Region, Poland - ENNEREG Good Practice in Energy Efficient Products

Installation of solar lamp in Golina. The aim of this project was installation of street lighting which is powered by renewable energy sources. Ten hybrid lamps were installed on the street Stefanowski in Golina. These lamps have the photovoltaic panels and windmills in their construction, so they can draw energy from the Sun, as well as wind. Hybrid lamps are therefore independent of the electricity grids in the city, and most importantly the city does not bear any additional costs. The investment is going to repay quickly and cost savings will compensate cost of buying lamps.

How this Action could be Replicated

The example leads to use of renewable energy sources and to independent street lights from electricity grid. It is supported by structural funds (European Agricultural Found for Rural Development) and national funds (public and private) under Rural Development Programme for the period 2007 – 2013. The applied funding model is created for increasing the safety of residents by the installation of street lighting on one of the street in the village Golina. This good practice can be replicated in each municipality or city in the Wielkopolska Region. There are no main barriers for replication of this project.
