Carmanah Aviation Project
Impact of our Technology
• Integrated, self-contained solar technology solutions
• Cost savings– Lowest total cost of ownership
• Proven Performance– Reliable and rugged design– Years of maintenance free operation
• Energy autonomy– Reducing dependency on fossil fuels– Can be installed anywhere
• Meeting standards– Industry certifications
Current Situation in Caribbean
• High energy costs are $0.25 kwh + • Drive to move towards renewable energy infrastructure
– Energy Act• Access to power is remote at times• Blackouts common• Maintenance problems with existing street lighting• Demand to showcase green technology• Emergency power for natural disaster• Copper for AC lighting getting stolen
Carmanah’s Patented Technology
• Conversion: sunlight → electricity → LED light
• Six main conversion steps
• Carmanah excels at designing robust systems that optimize every step of the conversion process

Solar Panels
Solar panel efficiency is important:• Monocrystalline solar panels: 14 -19% efficient
• Polycrystalline: 10 -14 % efficient
• Thin Film: 5 - 11 % efficient
Solar panel tilt should be specific to installation:• based on region of the world
Battery Technology
• AGM (absorbed glass mat) technology resilient to temperature extremes and cycling
• Designed specifically for solar applications• Can achieve 4,000 cycles at 20% depth of discharge• Batteries designed to last 5 years• Design systems for 5 days autonomy• 15 days of enhanced autonomy• Fully recycleable
Fixture Performance
• LED fixtures• Most efficient light source for solar• Far better than HPS, Metal Halide• Not all LEDs created the same• Meet LM-79, LM-80 guidelines• Backed by IES files from approved DOE lab• Standard IES and flood distributions • Dark-Sky compliant• Type 2, 3, 4, 5, flood optics• Cut off shields• 6000k, 4300k, 3400k amber
Where Solar Lighting Makes Sense
• Is power available?– Remote locations– Avoid digging, trenching, permits, labor,
copper costs
• Is power accessible? – Need to dig through concrete or infrastructure– High trenching costs– Replace corroded cabling
• What are energy costs?– Costs increasing

Where Solar Makes Sense
Lockheed Martin – going green with Carmanah EverGEN 1500• Green mandates are present:
– Progressive green owners– Energy & CO2 reduction– Tax rebates – Government reimbursement– LEED projects– Showcasing environmental
practices
Energy Budget Considerations
• location (energy in)
• light required (energy out)
• operating profile (energy conservation)

How Much Light Required
• Target lighting standards• RP-8-00 requirement from IES for roadway and pathway
How Much Light Required
• Target lighting standards• RP-20 for parking lots• .2FC min or .5FC min
Operating Profile
• An operating profile can increase the efficiency of the system by: – Dimming illumination levels when light is not needed– Incorporating motion sensing capabilities (some models only)– Carmanah EverGEN has many different operating profiles– Shorter run time = higher peak lumen values
Can your application accommodate a change in illumination levels throughout the course of the night?
