Sokoyo, a top Chinese manufacturer of solar street lights, has announced that it has completed the installion of 252 sets of lighting units for QatarEnergy's solar power project in Ras Laffan and Masaieed.

The installation of Sokoyo's split solar street lights for the project being built by Samsung C&T Corp. was completed in July. The arrangement of solar panels was customised at the customer's request for ease of maintenance.

Sokoyo, founded in 2008, has manufactured more than 1 million lighting units installed in a wide range of settings across SoutheastAsia, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

Its product line includes all-in-one solar street lights, all-in-two solar street lights and split-type solar street lights. They can be controlled remotely with IoT technology to improve safety and efficiency. Using solar power makes them immune to disruptions in supplies of oil and gas.

Sokoyo also specializes in the manufacture of LED modules, solar panels, batteries, light housings and light poles.

"Sokoyo provided us with a specially customized solution for our power station," said Kathy, a senior procurement manager for Samsung. "The entire solar street lighting system consistently met our expectations for brightness, battery life and overall reliability," she added.

The Chinese group has already supplied more than 2,000 light units to Saudi Arabia's planned high-tech city of NEOM as part of the Saudi 2030 Vision plan.

In Yemen and UAE, Sokoyo lights use LED modules developed to cope with heat, sun and sand, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
