Novea

SPECIALIST IN AUTONOMOUS LIGHTING SINCE 2007

A pioneer, Novéa Énergies offers quality products with the best lifespans and guarantees on the market. Part of the Ragni Group since 2015, it combines control of solar energy and reliability of lighting fixtures. Novéa offers mastered and developed know-how thanks to a network of partners present in each country. Thanks to its collaboration with the French laboratories CEA and INES , the Angevin company is able to design the most efficient and durable batteries on the solar lighting market, thus offering robust, proven technology (including in environments hostile climates) and very low operating and maintenance costs for its users.

THE ADVANTAGES OF NOVEA SOLAR LAMP POSTS

  • Luminous efficiency (in lm/W the most efficient of the market) allowing to reach important powers of lighting
  • Sunless operating autonomy allowing optimal operation all year long (3 to 10 days depending on the geographical area)
  • Optimal dimensioningof the solar panel and the battery thanks to the different high efficiencies of the components (battery, electronics, lighting)
  • Lighting management adapted to the needs (presence detection)
  • A design that facilitates installation and reduce installation time
« Increasing the efficiency of an autonomous system is reducing the surface of the solar panel and the capacity of the battery »
According to the geographical area no heavy maintenance is to be expected: no change of battery, no change of light source.
  • Temperate zone (Metropolitan France + DROM) : Battery service life > 20 years (at 80 % of initial power)
  • Extreme temperature zone (Africa, Middle East) : Battery service life > 10 years (at 80 % of initial power), warranty 5 years
« Increasing the efficiency of an autonomous system is reducing the surface of the solar panel and the capacity of the battery »
  • Endurance + Technology battery ensuring the longest life of the market (from 10 to more than 20 years depending on the geographical area).
  • Management electronics designed by Novea to optimize the life of the battery. Service life > 20 years
  • High efficiency solar panel. Service life > 25 years at 80 % of initial power
  • LED luminaire manufactured for public lighting standards (aluminum foundry, flat tempered glass protection, high efficiency LED module). Service life > 100 000 h at 80% of initial power.
  • Set dimensioned according to EN 40 to withstand cyclonic wind zones
  • System adapted to extreme temperatures : -20 °C /+ 65 °C
« Increasing the service life of a system is also limiting the use of natural resources for its manufacture »
According to the geographical area no heavy maintenance is to be expected: no change of battery, no change of light source.
  • Wide choice of operating programs : lowering, presence detection, radio communication…
  • NOVMOOV system : communicating ignition by radio frequency
  • NOVEA CONTROL system : remote control of the lamp post
  • Secure to ensure a perfect management of the system including batteries

THREE ESSENTIAL SKILLS

Mastery of electronics :
  • Development of our own systems to optimize performance and avoid hazardous assemblies
  • Design of secure systems meeting the constraints of the sites where they are installed
Mastery of energy management
  • Production of precise energy studies taking all the technical parameters into account and obtain adequate sizing of solar systems
  • Supply of clear and transparent information on the performance expected from your systems
Mastery of public lighting :
  • Propose customized studies to adapt the light to your needs and installation locations
  • Matching components with reliable and robust luminaires, fitted with the best LEDs on the market
Novea Approach

OUR APPROACH

3 studies are needed to size an autonomous solar street light :
  • Photometric study
  • Energy study
  • Mechanical study

PHOTOMETRIC STUDY

Photometric study is done by our internal research department : in order to obtain the most accurate lighting for your needs, it is necessary to precisely size the luminaire : power, number of LEDs, choice of optics (to optimize the number of light points) …

The lighting study allows:

  • determine the lighting power,
  • determine the number of light points.

ENERGY STUDY

Energy study is essential to establish the quote, it allows to size the power of the solar panel and the capacity of the battery.
The three main criteria taken into account by Novea are :
  • Take into account the worst period of the year: for example, in metropolitan France energy production in December is 3 times lower than in June
  • Adapt the autonomy of operation according to the geographical area : between 3 and 10 days on average. May be more than 10 days as needed. On the other hand, the longer battery autonomy and the lower battery is discharged per night (“discharge rate”), and the lower the discharge rate and the longer the battery life (eg for our battery Endurance + Technology: 8,000 operating nights at 80 % of initial capacity for a discharge rate per night < 30 %, for an average temperature of 25 °C).
  • Ensure overproduction of the solar panel in relation to the consumption of the luminaire. A minimum of 20 % overproduction is recommended to anticipate the aging of the solar panel and its loss of energy production, but also to limit the impact of fouling on some areas of installation
Novea Energy Analysis
To realize this energetic study one must know :
  • The lighting operating mode which will determine the lighting time per night and therefore the energy consumption per night. Be cause the dimensioning of the panel and the battery depends only on the energy consumption of the luminaire. In order to optimize dimensioning, cost and resource savings, we will recommend a very energy-efficient operation mode closest to the need.
This lighting management is set up for fitted lighting to the demand (power gradation, presence detection, time periods). The geographic area of the site to illuminate is studied in detail : the city of reference and latitude provide us with information concerning the solar and photovoltaic potential of the location. Novea will size the solar panel at the worst time of the year. Panel tilt, according to the geographical area, will determine the optimum efficiency to meet the initial lighting requirement.
