Smart Lights for Smart Schools

The Challenge

Melton Christian College's new Toolern Vale campus is a major development on an 83-acre greenfield site. Being a new build, the campus lacked existing electrical infrastructure for large-scale exterior lighting. The college needed a powerful, reliable, and scalable lighting solution for its new car parks, access roads, and pathways. The primary challenge was the immense cost and logistical complexity of trenching and cabling such a large, undeveloped area, which would also delay the campus's opening and disrupt future construction.

The eSolar Lighting Solution

eSolar Lighting was selected to provide a complete, off-grid solar lighting system. We deployed our flagship commercial-grade solar street lights to illuminate the new car park and main campus roads, ensuring bright, safe access. Along the new footpaths connecting buildings, our solar bollard and pathway lights were installed. Because our systems are 100% solar-powered and require no connection to the electrical grid, the installation was fast, non-disruptive, and avoided all trenching costs and delays, allowing the campus to have full lighting from day one.

The Result

eSolar Lighting delivered a 'day one' lighting solution for the Toolern Vale campus, making it safe and accessible from the moment it opened to students. The college completely bypassed the high capital cost of grid-based lighting infrastructure, translating to significant initial savings. The campus now enjoys zero ongoing electricity costs for its exterior lighting, a minimal carbon footprint, and a flexible, scalable system that can easily expand as the college continues to grow.
