SolarSign is a solar powered Dynamic Messaging Sign (DMS) system with full range capabilities for large scale displays on major highways in both rural and urban locations. The solar power system allows signs to be erected where needed without placement being dictated by access to power and the signs can display travel times, warnings and awareness signs.
The NTCIP compliant company uses the latest LEDs which are 30-50% more efficient than traditional LED’s and eliminate the need for a cooling system therefore reducing both power consumption and maintenance costs. An optional power and temperature monitoring system provides real-time feedback to eliminate operational uncertainties regarding the power supply.
The latest variable message sign (VMS) from French manufacturer SES is fully powered by solar panels, making it possible to install a sign virtually anywhere without the need for cables or mains power.
Ideal for many applications from highway to urban, the signs use high intensity LEDs in a choice of character matrix, line matrix or full matrix display and are compliant with EN12966 European standards. With a display height of 160mm to 457mm, the signs are ideal for large VMS to small lane control signs
